Great shot!

Thanks patty, I'm sure you know these stairs... just behind Marco Aurelio's statue. Guessed?

really beautiful, but you still have some greys in the photo, Only total black and whites are allowed.

better now?

That is something!

congrates,..well done!

I think this one is nice too.

Thank you Andrewm! There is so much expression in her eyes!

... it freightens me a little...

I SO AGREE WITH NATOR!!

Yea I think B&W would be amazing but I love the face...Good Job Author!

i did it, but i dontn know if i can change mi submit?

Yes you can. Go to "my stuff", select "my contest entries", go to this shot and click on "edit shot" (underneath the shot). This way you can change your shot.

Wow... it was worthwhile!
pity I had already voted for it...

This is a cool shot. i agree the B&W looks great. BUT... ya know what? I think I'd rotate it 90 degrees so it was vertical. It would look like she's walking through from another dimension.

Lovely, but unfortunately, selective editing isn't allowed.

What do you mean by "selective editing" friiskiwi? I thought one can improve the shot at any time and edit it as many times as necessary. Am I wrong?

Selective editing, means changing just part of the image. You can change the whole photo into Black and white, but not just part of it. Any editing you do has to apply to the whole image.
Personally I'd love us to be allowed selective editing.

You can use selective editing Fiiskiwi .... it's called Photoshop Contests lol

thanks,

And congrats to you as well!

Very pretty. Would be nice without so much grain

I DISAGREE, I use film for the Artistic effect-something that you might not know about!

I use matte prints for pics alot. Most often when restoring old photographs.
Nice shot

Lovely

I wanted to show something other than a "sunset-" back lighting can be amazing in portraits!

... I knew the shot had to be yours, author!

Grain is fine. GL!

Blush blush, why thank you Jaws!

Blush blush, why thank you Jaws!

Nice yellow, very cheerful...

It looks like there's some scratches on the original image. You can fix those with healing brush.

I actually quite like the worn look to it, I have a thing for things like that...

lovely shot, looks quite grainy, which I guess is why you didn't supply a High res.

I use 35mm. I happen to like the "grain" Sorry that you have such a problem with it.

I don't have a problem with the photo, which is lovely, I just don't like it when we don't get a High res, so we can get a good look at the photo. What is shown here, is never the best, Photos that look great in High res, often look soft here.
