Thanks for all the comments and votes. The flare and dust spots in this shot were intentional and so that's why they weren't cloned out. I wanted a dramatic gym type feel to it and I think (personally) they add to the shot, but I appreciate the comments.

Also I'm surprised at the number of Adidas comments, it's not a Nike ad I simply used their slogan for the title. But again thanks all the same :0)

I'm pleased this made it close to my average, so thanks again

I'm not crazy about her expression, and the flare on the lest is a bit distracting. But very well done. 7.

Nice portrait. Expression and title are fitting very well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:05:04 PM
This would do Nike proud. Well done, great model. Only isssue is the light reflection in the shape of a C in the upper left corner is distracting to me. But that is a minor flaw.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:10:28 PM
I like the Adidas pants/top and the Nike shoes... conflict of interest?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:52:59 PM
I think this would have been better if the dust was cloned out...kinda is a distraction to an otherwise great shot 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:53:42 PM
I find the light too bright but that's a personal taste. A nice portrait.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Awesome, one of my favorites in the challenge.

03/14/2009 02:47:34 PM
Blown highlights on the arm so total lack of detail in those areas..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:18:25 AM
Intense look
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:10:20 AM
toning and softness create a nice contrast with the subject
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:38:50 AM
need to be a stock photo....really good tone
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:30:08 AM
Nice composition and tones. Might have cleaned up some of the specks in the upper left.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 01:40:47 AM
I like the light, great pose from her as well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:20:23 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 04:07:01 PM
Except for the very clear "c" in the upper left this is perfect.

Great lighting and a good pose. Like the color treatment. Nice portrait.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:43:00 AM
The dust floating behind her is a bit of a bummer, but otherwise this is awesome. The lighting is phenomenal.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:37:03 AM
I really like to composition. Too bad, that the left corner is a bit to blurry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:52:18 PM
Very nice shot, her expression doesn't quite fit the title, good tones
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:37:24 PM
Nice portrait spoiled a little by the flare IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:14:58 PM
Did you do it? She looks kind of disappointed... Very nice portrait. Very clean lines. Like the back glow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:01:41 PM
Really like your lighting here, and I love the overall look of the image. Very fitting. Nice job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:07:13 PM
Nice portrait. I do think that I would take the main light down just a hair to bring those arms back from overexposure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:00:07 PM
Superior.... 10

Really nice light and pose.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think I have the same Nike running shoes! Very emotive capture, it definitely tells a story. Very nice play of lights and darks. Well done! 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:11:53 AM
The idea is a good one. It's a good shot. One small detail - she's wearing an Adidas top, and the logo is as prominent than the Nike one you're focusing on.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:01:04 AM
Very nice shot, the lighting is awesome. I like the tone of the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:05:38 AM
She looks like one tough cookie! Great lighting and processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:00:42 AM
nice portrait, nice light, i like her expression.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:33:02 AM
the back light is a bit distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:30:44 AM
Really, really stylish image. The bright light on the upper left, and even the dust(?) spots in the background really add dimension to this photo. Lighting overall is beautiful. Excellent.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:50:56 AM
I find the lighting a bit distracting - bright. it would have been nice to see a bit more definition in her skin - especially the arms as she appears to be participating in a sport of strength and none is shown in her definition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2009 11:51:22 PM
seems a little blown out interesting image tho i like the pose
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2009 10:34:17 PM
Now thats a portrait, very very good. Nice lighting, moody and a gorgeous subject always helps... :) Give her my regards
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2009 10:10:24 PM
a bit over exposed. was this scanned? arms face forehead blown
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2009 08:47:06 PM
I like pose and composition, the lighting is good, and I like the reduced saturation. The lens flare is very distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2009 08:04:15 PM
I like the theme here - nicely lit too
