 I know this is not gonna ribbon, it will probably bomb just like the rest of my entries. The light is harsh on my left shoulder and I didn't include my face...I'm gonna get creamed for both, but you know what? I don't care! I wasn't going to enter but I was shooting for my PaD and I liked this picture so I'm gonna submit it. I'm at the point where I don't really care what my score is and where I don't plan on shooting specifically for challenges anymore; at least not for a while. This is just a game, nothing else. So, I've put on my armor...come ang get me!

Juneisy, despite not seeing your face this should have ranked higher IMO, great shot....

No need for armour. It's a nice shot, I actually think it's quite sensual as well, which isn't that common on DPC..

Cheers, Me.

Great exposure! Softness of skin with dark necklace works well. I love the subtleness of this portrait.

pretty necklace

there is some grayscale missing in this shot that should probibly be there.....the reason is there is quit a gap that is visualy lacking between the black of the hair and neckless and the white of the skin.

it is an image i look at but am not drawn into......

hence the vote.....5

great image just to have an effictive B&W espicaly in this way u need as much of the grayscale as possible.......please don't hate me...lol i hate to be 1 of "those voters"

It a really pretty and well executed shot, Its a very nice all around picture, but I needed to see you somehow. It would have been a 10 but I have to give you a 7. I really like it though

not much of a portrait without a face

Self-Portrait of your best features, guess that would be your neck! Lovely composition, not seeing the face I think adds that little extra mystery to the overall shot. Oh, and excellent lighting. Good Luck.

A very sexy image which invokes all that is sensual. It is an image which may invite a bell curve but rest assured that ny vote is on the higher end. In itself the image is a winner because it is very well done. Bumping up to 7

Great neck -- wish you'd shown slightly more of your face -- just a glimpse more

sexy but is it really a self portrait or an ad for the necklace.

Hmmmm, you got us all wondering who this lovely, silky, throat belongs to. Great lighting, I like your right shoulder blending with the background. Good luck with this mysterious portaiture...
