Well, just to please Jean... one more rating here... a 7... I mean, it's an ok shot, but I'm used to better than that from Chris...:-) To me, it's a bit overdone... Ok, the dress being wild and this being fashion, it fits somehow, but you are generally very subtle, Chris, and I don't really see that here. I may be wrong. Just an opinion. Cheers.
I'd like it a bit more contrasted, but I gave a good rating (8) to this picture. IMO, it deserves a better rating than a 6. If a lot of people were rating, we'll have a more representative idea than with only 2 notes.
What was your lighting on this? The contrast on the model seems very low (but then again, I'm a high-contrast biggot). Great composition and model expression!
