Wow... thanks for the great response and very nice comments. Portraits don't generally do well in free study so finishing so high meant alot to me... the comments and favs after the fact are icing on a very cool cake.

I am shocked to find that this image didn't ribbon. I can't imagine what more could be expected in a portrait. This is absolutely amazing on all aspects. Great shot!

Outstanding model, Rudy, and your photography does not stand in the way of me enjoying this sensual photo either. I reckon a little of what Brad said below about the red, perhaps.

Ya know, I really like this picture a lot.
I know the voters spoke, but to me, taking away from the dynamite natural color mix of red & green didn't do justice of what I feel could have been.
As an example, this is how I would have submitted it, but again is just a personal preference:

Excellent portrait, well done! Always remember my mother telling me that freckles were a sign of beauty and this proves it (not im my case though LOL!!)

Any attempt to put how much I love this photo into words would likely fall short. I'll give it a go anyways though. ;) Absolutely STUNNING shot! The focus, the framing, and the tones are absolutely spectacular. Well done! :D

One of the nicest portraits i've seen in a long time........the sort that invokes some sort of intangible visceral response, deep down inside.

Great use of color here; the background complements the outfit and the skin tones, and the processing blends it all together to perfection. A wonderful portrait and expression. 10.

what a gorgous portrait, i love the subdued photos, and her freckles are so fun, i love it. i love how you also kept alot of detail in her face and hat, but not as much in other areas. very good job, and good luck

I like the composition but it seems to have a little to much green to it ( and I've looked at it on two different monitors)

Wondering why, but the first thing which comes to my mind is "Ireland"

Probably the best portrait I've seen here in a while. The tones, sharpness, composition, and background all work very well together. 9

I just love this photo. I am not a big fan of portraits, they have to be something special to knock my socks off, and this is just that! 10 from me.

She does have some freckles doesn't she?! Very cute young lady, and the coloring you've achieved is awesome.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/01/2008 06:09:30 AM
nice and honest image, I love freckles...just think the colour adjustment has left her skin looking an unflattering green...
