Wow, the lighting and colors are awesome! Brian. http://www.pbase.com/galleries/DigiDawg

Yes, this is my favorite too. The lighting and color is wonderful. Hmmmmm..... I'm wondering what it will cost us to hire the makeup artists and models for the next challenge if this is the level we've got to step up to! LOL! I would have liked the "eye" of the feather more in line with her eye and then the whole thing cropped a bit further up on the forehead so that both eyes are on the upper horizontal 3rd line. This would bring the lips down to the lower horizontal 3rd line. I'm trying not to get so wrapped up in the professional makeup job that I'm not judging the photographer's skill. But all this doesn't mean it's not gettting a vote from me. :) ~ Lonnit

I'm with Phil on this. The catchlights are very distracting, giving a sort of android look to the model. That's not necessarily bad, but it doesn't seem to match the rest of the picture. -- Victor

I'm almost typeless... simply drop dead fantastic. One of the top photos I've seen posted in any challenge or forum. Excellent. In my opinion, you should have only submitted this one as the other two don't stand up to this one (even though fantastic on their own!). Wonderful job! Jim

Rahul, Beautiful work...stunning! Love all the shots. It's difficult to choose a favorite. I like the crop on this one but I also like the green background contrast on the second image. I think the placement of the feather works very well as my eye travels from the lips to the feather to the eye. Lovely in every way! Roberta

Thanx guys :)

I think every one has said it already "SIMPLY WONDERFULL" Mike C

All I see in this shot is beauty! The composition of this one is the best, I believe. I did't notice the "catch lights" in the eye, so, for me, there is no distraction there. This is a very unique shot and deserves a winning vote. Shu

Rahul, have been looking at all three of your images again and again and came to the conclusion that I love this one the best. Those eyes, they are mesmerizing.... An outstanding shot, worthy of any magazine in the world..... Vikas.

Absolutely stunning! What a group of wonderful images. This one is my favorite of the three, with the feather taking a fair portion in the bottom of the frame. I didn't see the feather distorting the face, as I was drawn to the eye. Great image Rahul - you inspire me to continue to try harder! - Ralph Otto

Umm... I hate to disagree, and apologies if you don't want the critical comment (no *) but... I find these slightly disturbing. I think it's that I see the feather as an "eye" and because it's not lined up it kind of distorts her face. Also, I'm not keen on the multiple catchlights in her eyes. Very professional looking (as are all your images) but these just don't work for me somehow. Phil

Thanx Angela & Vikas :)

This one is my favorite. I love the tight composition. Beautifully done, Rahul! Your photos are extraordinary!! -- angela :)

OH MY GOD! All these images are absolutely fabulous...gosh, I don't know which to select as the best of the three, they are stupendous. What a great great idea and perfect exectution...... Vikas
