 This is Rhiannon, she has just started modeling and has taken to it like a fish to water, it was great to work with her and to help her along her way in the industry.

If this was advanced I could of removed the stray hairs, and try as I did to push them to the side, Rhiannon has very flyaway hair so this is what we get in Basic editing. Having said that, I like how this has come out tone-wise and the pose and look is great, This might do well as it is clean and DPC style so fingers crossed as it is for the Polish team.. GO POLSKA!

est score- 6.5

I love the way the hair ripples in and out of focus. Beautiful!

Wow this one is very dramatic. I just love the eyelashes. A 10 for sure but i only wish it had more color.

Focus on the eye is great but there's a stray hair there which is distracting and a curious line runs from the top of her lip back into her hair making her mouth look slightly strange

Obviously, basic rules prevent it, but separate from the challenge the stray hair near her left eye could be cloned out. I point this out as the only minor flaw here--This is a GREAT image, and gets a 9. I like the blurry and dynamic hair on the left side, and the straight, static hair on the right. Almost like a split personality, or yin-yang sort of feel to it. Nice.

I really like the choice for focal point on this, and having her hair draped down in that fashion adds even more to the effect.

The stray hair by her eye is rather unfortunate. If this were in advanced, I'd assume that you would remove it.

really nice image - the focus on the eye is outstanding - no vote though

would have loved to see a vert crop to get rid of some of the hair on the left. Great lighting, and a nice shot.

Stunning! I love the sharp eye and shallow depth of field. My favorite so far! 10
