 Hmmm. Kinda cheesy. Not that excited about this one, but I think the photo turned out fairly well. Thanks to James, our marketing coordinator, for his devilishly good looks for this shot. Too bad I didn't have a real Russian sable hat for this one.

David, this is great! I haven't gone through all the Bond images yet. Saw this one in the Babes of DPC thread and was thrilled to see it's yours! Excellent work. Sorry I didn't get to vote for it - would've been a high score!

Impressive portrait, I like the composition as well as the range of tones. I do not know a lot abt russia but shouldnt the cap be something more russian (mybe it is already)? and interestingly it would be even more impressive and original to have something that signifies love, in the background

Love it, the look that is captured in his eyes is peircing. I love the angle of the collar and the placement of the subject. Nicely done!

While it is a very good photo and the model has a striking appearance, nothing about it really rings of "Bond." The outfit doesn't appear Russian to me and the mountain effect in the background, while a good idea, doesn't componsate enough to make it appear like "Russia." Good technicals on the photo but this doesn't nail the challenge in my opinion so I'm giving you an average score.

Love the eyes and the crop. Great DOF. Skin seems a touch soft and over processed, but a great effort! 8

I don't get it, but way too much sharpening (or softening on everything else) on the eyes. It hurts my eyes! ;-)
