A really great shot !!!

Perfectly on theme! GL!

Beautiful capture, but too much "dead space" on the RH side and the bottom. A judicious crop would improve this already nice shot considerably.

Perfect capture author...All is there, contest goal, great execution and story behind the shot...well done

The more I look at this, the more I like it, the mood in awesome.

So, this picture is totally what about this theme is. A dark room, with a powerful light source, generate dark shadows.

nice, i like the simplicity of the theme.

Lovely shot..i prefer to see flowers in colour as nature is wonderful in that way.

Congrats on 2nd place....

This is definitely one of the best entries. GL!

I like your smile here = )

Fabulous piece author...and what a gorgeous hazel color eyes...well done

Super cool positive shot...best of luck author

VEry pretty kitty, and the eyes are so beautiful = )

Lovely close-up. Well done for catching a typical cat expression.

Very pretty! Love your DOF thought I would have liked to see this a bit closer, just for theme reasons. You certainly have your framing down really well!!!

Had a feeling this was you. The color palet is your trade-mark in a since and I LOVE IT! You have such an eye for framing and the know-how to get an awesome shot!

I absolutely love your framing and color tone but it's a bit noisey which can be easily corrected but LOVE this shot TOTALLY!

Those eyes! She looks scared. very nice.

Fantastic

Nice one! The capture and the cat! Good luck!

Beautiful

Simple but effective shot = )

Nice colors.

Great image, well done!

Hi nice to meet you! great shot!

It's lovely, but perhaps a little too light.

Great, high marks from me.

Um, not sure if I see how you have a bigger head but I will agree the background was a good choice.

I like this angle, this contest is about creative portraits, and the angle makes this shot look even better, well done.

beautiful portrait &beautiful young lady

Beautiful lady,great lighting.
This angle tho makes the head look bigger than it is.Use this angle when you want to give a "small" feeling to something.
Any way...you are still very beautiful & i mean VERY beautiful.Great body pose & look.
Background is all so a nice choice (gives a romantic feeling).
Nice to meet you.

Very nice!!
