1st: Aartist, Really love the work on her face and the fabric.
2nd: Raquel, nice lightning and overall mood, just regret the "a bit too much", it cost you the 1st place for me it was nearly a draw...
3rd: Lorraine, beautiful colourisation.
4th: Kizmiaz, nice details on the lace.
5th: Veralisa, nice idea about the background.

Beauty is in the eye... so here goes.

1. kizmiaz - High color/drama befitting a performer. Strong facial details, interesting use of color in costume. Seamless application overall!

2.4personnen - More drama, yey! Diggin' the Gutav Klimpt-esque drapes!

3. Lorraine - Super-sweet. Beautiful colorization! In my opinion - best carpet!

4. aartist - Great facial detail, almost monochromatic in color - I like!

5. Veralisa - Smart solution to carpet dilemma! Great coloring!

Congratulations to all !!
