Now this is a unique prop. Haven't seen cotton bolls used before. Interesting. Nice glow and softness (yet sharp) to her face. Good luck in the challenge. |

Very appealing - tones & texture are very complimentary to the model. The cotton is a nice creative touch, too.

Excellent work. The image is so clear and the tones are very pleasing. I also love the cotton bowls, they remind me of my childhood in the Mississippi delta. |

love the lighting and the contrast.. flowers on the right side are probably a bit to much or could have been shorter.. |

The cotton bolls are unusual but they work here. Could use just a touch more fill light towards the back of her head on the left or even a hair light on that side. Something to break her loose from the BG. |

I like this. The cotton is unexpected and unusual as a "prop." I with there a bit more light illuminating her face. 7 |

Very interesting. If you had rasied the exposure of the face and masked the cotton i think it wouldve made it a little better. I think this should do well. |

Nicely composed and captured. I like how the cotton blossoms (?) mimic the subject's eyes. The b&w treatment could be stronger, it's a bit too green tinted for my liking and lacks the dynamic range I think this image could offer, but well done nonetheless. |

The way you processed the skin and eyes creeps me out to be blunt. The skin looks like plastic and the eyes almost glow. No offense. |

Your skin tone seems a little dark to me. However I really love the portrait. and the cotton (that is cotton right?) is stunning! I love the texture and the light. 8 |

Beautiful tones! And although the composition has interesting elements, the eyes pull me right back to the heart of the portrait. Well done. |

Nice shot. The eyes are what make it special. The button on the shirt is a little distracting. Actually it would be nice to have naked shoulders and perhaps similar shaped (to the cotton(?)) dangley earrings. |

Perfect. Composition, B&W range, tone, texture, nice sharp (but not over-sharpened) image. Means nothing, but I gave you a '10' and hope to see this in the top three at the end. I like photos where I can learn (steal) some ideas, this is one of those. Congrats! |

the cotton really fights for attention, and gets it...not sure about the significance of it in the image...Helen is nice and sharp |
