What a gorgeous double portrait, Johanna! And huge congrats on your first ribbon!!! WOOT! :-)
ETA: seconding the previous comment by  CNovack on the film noir aspect of this shot. Very emotive of that period, very Mickey Spillane-ish. Excellent work.

I step away and come back to see you have ribboned. Congrats Johanna! You are no longer the bridesmaid;-P
Absolutely love the photo and fabulous title! Lighting is wonderful. The set-up, costumes, and pose of the models makes me think of film noir. There is an air of mystery but also an element of danger. Mel has a nervous and a frightened look. She makes me think of the dame in danger in the old detective novels/movies who cling to the hero/protecter while looking over their shoulder. Here it is the trusty and faithful dog, Isabella, who will protect her from those nasty thugs:-) Fantastic work and congrats again on the ribbon. |

At last! I'm so happy you finally obtained this so very deserved ribbon. I'm sure it's the first of a long list. A few days ago, my wife and I were browsing through your Flickr account and latest challenge entries, and we were very impressed with your progression, especially regarding lighting and model direction: you have a great talent there!
This photo summarizes it very well: the lighting is top notch, the expressions are powerful, and the B&W conversion is just splendid. Congratulations! |

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Lovely portrait - I love the balance between the subjects and your lighting is to die for. The clarity of the Great Dane is just amazing and I really like the edge of your model's hat - it fills a little space top left in the frame adds a great deal of balance. Her expression and direction of gaze gives a great juxtaposition with the stare of the dog.
Critical stuff: I hope the clipping of the paws doesn't hurt you too much.
Overall: Lovely, lovely shot. |

| Oh, I love this one; playfullness in the woman and seriousness in the dog, lol. The expressions, lighting and processing are great. The leg in the bottom left is a little distracting and her hand is a little dark, but overall a great image. |

| An arresting image. Maybe a bit too much of a tight crop but I do like where the faces are. Also, probably should have darkened that lower left corner since her leg serves no purpose in this shot except as a possible distraction. |

| Beautiful portrait...IMO the only thing that bothers me slightly is the dogs paws are cut off. Sorry about being picky...regardless I do love the image. |

| I love this but wish her toes weren't cut off in the frame. |

| Great idea. I wish the paws weren't chopped off at the bottom. I think her face deserves the same light as the dog. Heck, I'd love a portrait of just the canine. LOL Fun stuff. |

| Great lighting and processing... looks amazing in B&W... one minor nitpick is the crop right on the dog's toes... my two cents... |
