Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! And I think this is beautiful. Took some real imagination to bring all elements together to pull off the heist. I like it a lot!

I have to agree with alfredmosley this is a badly executed and poorly thought out image. Dont you feel guilty pushing all you image votes up? It surely doesnt mean that the work is superior it just means that you have more time on you hands to stuff votes than everyone else.

the gross.

This is a fantastic shot. In response to that other rude person, this model doesn't need to tone up she's beautiful! Very sexy model. I would most definitely buy this purse for my wife.

Alfredmosley - very good critique! haha Me next ! Rip my images apart so I can improve!

Your work is to be appreciated, I have already learned some new techniques to try by seeing your images. There is a winning place for so many artists in these contests, and you are definetly one of them. I appreciate your skill and style. Cheers, -M

Great fashion shot. Mysterious and provocative. Excellent work

I'm not incredibly sure what everyones problem is with this image... People keep saying she is fat? and wouldn't buy anything she's wearing etc... I don't see anything fat on her body.. the only thing that could look a little awkward is the light through the stair rail on her leg... looks cellulite a little bit... although.. printed..it may not look like that at all.. and the shadow across her chest from the rail... I think that is very distracting.. If that shadow wasn't there though..I think it would be great... it flows from the top left down to the bottom right. If this was a selling ad.... people would automatically in my opinion look across the whole image.. I love her hair..and I love the lighting on her face...

I completely agree with alfredmosley- I was hoping to put my work in a valid place, but after one day of being on this site it seems like it's not so fair, I agree I think the images in the top are ridiculous! This photo is one of them- all you see is the huge shadow cutting right across her- I didn't even notice there was a purse in the shot until I started reading other critiques to see if I was the only one feeling confused and dismayed by the photos in the top! I feel bad for Russell James having to pick out of photos people have forced their way to the top. Stick to the dogs- they are much more interesting than this shot
