Really? Versus that old, gray, wrinkly, non-inked skin? Yea right, it's the tattoos that make old skin unattractive ;)

Beautiful photo, beautiful model! Should've placed in the top 3. Congrats!

Really strong powerful image - congrats on top 5 placing could have spent endless time on this...i even race for her...

This was my favorite of the challenge. Congratulations on your HM.

Really strong powerful image - congrats on top 5 placing.

Love the colours and crop.

great pin-up feel, I love it. Tell me if I'm right- I'm guessing the car was a '57 Chevrolet?
 06/04/2008 06:00:37 PM
I believe that if she had a different expression, you'd be looking at a ribbon. Great shot regardless!
 06/04/2008 09:17:50 AM
This is a great shot and from a fellow Utahan as well! Congrats on your 4th place and PB!

Clearly a case of Cleavage losing out to a French Title - I see it all too often. ;-)
Congrats on a great score, excellent finish, and a beautiful, retro-ish, portrait of a lovely lady. Well done.

Perfect portraiture. Positively professional.10

This is definitely in my top few. The color of her lips is spot on and I like the way her tattoos stand out.

It is such a shame that she degraded her body with all those tattoos. Other wise this would have been a very sexy shot

Love the colors and the "look". Great shot!

I like this shot. I like the tone of the colors and how her eyes draw you in. Good luck.

I love the attitude you've captured in your model. She looks like Betty Boop with an edge. One of my top picks.

brilliant 10

What absolutely stunningly white and silky smooth skin. I guess it must be a perfect canvas for tattoos. Very pretty lady who definitely knows her own mind. Make up is perfect for the expression.

Perfect model for a high-impact, colourful shot. Might I dare to suggest something more car-related as a prop for her hands, like keys or a (cleaned) flexed dipstick perhaps?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/29/2008 06:29:30 AM
Very different. Lighting is superb. 10 from me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/29/2008 06:27:41 AM
Awesome colors, the pose is great! One of my favorites in the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

She has a beautiful expressive face. I would have composed the shot tighter and filling the frame with her face. The squished left boob gives this shot an awkward look. Great tattoos. Great light. 6

Great composition, excellent detail and color... 9

Although I have not finished viewing and voting, but this is the best picture I have seen so far in this challenge. Great focus, great colors, great composition and and a beautiful model. What else can a photographer ask for!!! A definite 10 in my book.

The color in this shot is amazing.

I really like this photo... the intense look in her eyes, the softness of her skin, the tattoos everything. 9

fierce!

Not my kinda girl, but a beautiful shot! The lighting and the pose are great. This should do very well. 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/28/2008 08:43:18 AM
A better title (the car is not apparent) as well as a better shirt to cover those nasty disfiguring tattoos would have improved things. Otherwise a very good, well lit shot.

Visually my eyes keep bouncing from her face to her hands, it doesn't rest in one spot. Not excited about the expression.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/28/2008 04:21:30 AM
