Thanks for looking.

Interesting picture... looks like it could be used in a fashion magazine. Good work with photoshop making the image look like a cross bewteen a pencil skecth comingto life. I'm liking what I see here.

Jed, did you scan this from print or negative?

I like the way you put her in the frame, nice composition.

The dodging is darkroom ?The whites in her face are a bit too much for my taste, could be a matter of scanning.

Great job, congratulations!!

What`s wrong with you people?... The tones on her face are blown up and the grain is too accentuated. Not a bad photo, but IMHO it doesn`t deserve more than 4/5.

A poor picture. The blown out face accentuates the lack of focus. Its poverty made me want to give it a higher rating for originality. However, as there has been something fishy about your whole approach to the rating system I feel compelled to give it a 3 rather than the 4 it perhaps deserved.

nice composition , nice lights on lip and eyes . but the light on face decreased it's originality . left side of hair that has less grain make me to like it more . it's look isn't seems original , may be couse of face's light .

I agree with Darius and Critique This. something smells funny here...

This is a joke, right? From a distance the model is attractive in the thumbnail. As soon as I look closer it all falls apart. I can't rmember a worse example of tri-x. It almost looks like a photo of a photo. There is no depth. Wierd. I think people are rating the models looks, not the photo.

Nice detective work Wade.

 

I see a referance to "WADE" but no comments from him? Strange.

I'm not too sure here ... what makes this shot stand out?

I refer to a comment by Wade Rose, which seems to have been deleted. The message included a link to an account which only rated photos by Jed, all ratings being 7/7.

I am also confused/amused over the high rating this picture garnered. It strikes me as a standard sort of fashion shot without showcasing the fashion (the jacket?). Neither does it engage us with the model. The photo lacks dimension technically and emotionally. No character or personality comes through. What am I missing?

This is the best photo on this site. 7/7 is not enough. I wish I could rate this 11/11. I wish I could rate multiple times. This is phenomenal. The depth, the contrast, the member's only jacket, the grain, the noise. All of this constitute a great photo. Gaaaauud, is this site stupid or what. Anyone can rate 3/3 without any comments and get away with it. Anyone can rate a stupid image like this 7/7 and get away with it. This is aweful. Screw you guys, I'm goin home, and I mean it. That is it for me from this site. Eddie

Very nice -- thank you...

Love this picture

Excellent portrait! I love the grain and the texture... perfectly framed!

I think it's a great capture. Grain doesn't hurt me, there are many pictures from great photographers with a lot of grain, but no one complaints. I think aesthetic ratings are often biased to over-sharp digital images.

 

Maybe I would have left more room to the subject (left and right), I tell this just because I see the photo is cropped.
