I like the contrast, but don't see it as 'city life'.

I think you were supposed to "hit the streets", this looks studio, so it may not be the best pic to meet the challenge. Otherwise, it is a very nice photo. Good contrast composition and focus.

Really like this, it seems to "pop" to me. There is a slight glare for lack of a better description just to the inside of her left eye and one stray hair that runs through her right eye. Having said all that I'm just nitpicking.......8

Nice work!

Well, I guess for some people life in the city is all about fashion and brands, but this does feel like a case of trying to use the title to fit the challenge. Having said that, it's a pretty good high-key portrait with great composition.

Beauriful eyes...bur jus a little too close for me...

lookin good

It's a great shot. I love the high contrast, the composition, and the model's facial expression. Even the tiny wisps of hair over the eyes add to the appeal. Just not too sure about it's relevance to the challenge at hand.

Don't let the score fool you into thinking this isn't a great pic. I love the high key.

unfortunately, the topic seems to be stretched too far - in a different challenge i would consider 8+, but having the topic we have...
01/07/2006 01:29:28 PM
i guess many people are not fan of that hight contrast, but i like it
what i dislike is the fact that you cropped the glasses but it's not that bad ;P
though nice selfportrait, katherine *G*

Nice take on City Life! Looks like a city girl to me. This is a clean clear crip image, maybe just a little over sharpened. I really like it in black and white. 7

Did you even try to adibe by the guidelines of the challenge. A clever title doesn't make this photograph work with the requirements of the "city life" theme.
01/06/2006 03:23:10 PM
Really nice portrait but not so fitting for 'city life' theme
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/06/2006 12:10:09 AM
Beautiful image but..gee..can't see City Life" in this one. Would rate 10 in another challenge but sadly will have to drop to 5.

Nice take on the challenge - great image!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 06:21:38 PM
nice high-contrast image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 03:23:17 PM
the clarity of her eye really makes this a captivating picture. awesome job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 03:07:22 PM
I don't like the extreme contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 10:07:48 AM
very very nice black and white, different subject than many others have used in the challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 07:51:51 AM
Like the idea. A bit less overexposure and stray hairs woulsd make this a ribbon contender, still a high scorer for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 03:53:50 AM
Beautiful model, beautiful portrait, but IMO, it's a little bit of a stretch. Seeing this, I wouldn't think "city life". However, since I really like it, and it's so well done, I can't bring myself to score it lower :) 10

01/04/2006 11:11:26 PM
stretching the subject...this should be in portraits, because it's a good one, but not as many marks because of the relevance to the topic
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 10:13:17 PM
The title doesn't make the photo fit the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 06:15:57 PM
Very nice composition! Nice image quality. The subject matter could have been better. - 6

i love high contrast portraits. great picture
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 04:23:10 PM
Love her expression! The shallow dynamic range treatment is interesting, but personally I'd prefer a bit more shading on her cheek and forehead. And that hair in front of her right eye is a bit distracting, but of course you couldn't fix that in a basic challenge. Still a very good photo.

01/04/2006 03:55:58 PM
nice, but overexposed
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 02:50:25 PM
Beautiful model. I love the high contrast look of this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 12:50:57 PM
This is a really good high-key image. I would have loved to seen the subject in a city setting though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 11:35:11 AM
Bling, bling! Your over-exposure on this makes it more interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 10:54:58 AM
very pretty, love the eyes and lips
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 08:02:45 AM
Dressed for the city spotlight. I like it. I even like the fact that you left it up for me to decide the color of the lipstick. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 07:59:51 AM
forehead is washed out and doesn't evoke the theme well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 04:49:05 AM
nothing going for the challenge except the title. nice photo though!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 03:45:46 AM
Nice photo of a girl. A little too bright in the face. Without the title though, there is no connection to city life at all.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

IMO... dnmc
