...from a recent photo shoot with the Niagara Fashion Group. Tanya West, a professional and very beautiful model. You fall in love, you lose.

post - Given the number of portraits that scored very well, I'm a bit surprised this ended south of 6. To be honest, I'm actually pissed off. I can only assume, since there was little in the way of any comments from the 16 sub-5 voters, that it was not considered "high key" enough, since it did not have a white BG...which, of course, has nothing to do with whether the subject was lit high-key. Sigh.

...1% of which are below 50% grey. But, thanks....I do appreciate your input, and realize many probably interpret this image in the same way. Doesn't mean you're not wrong, because you are. :)))

Seems that I gave out the "washed out" comment to quite a few folks. I've already gotten some feedback that my display probably needs calibration. Despite my comment during voting, I really liked your image and gave it a 7.

Beautiful portrait and subject, but just seems a bit overexposed/washed out.

Beautiful model. I like but at the same time don't like the background. The blur is good, but I think there's still a bit of distraction back there.
