This is a photo of the highest quality. Everything about it is interesting. The blown out lighting perfectly suits the garden party set. The dog is posed beautifully staring at the cupcake. The model is very interesting and her costume is excellent. Congratulations, this was the clear winner of the competition and there wasn't anybody even within touching distance of this outstanding winner.

This is a brilliant photo. It reminds me of headshots of Lauren Bacall from the noir era. The model is very interesting and the camera work is more than competent. The makeup job is the best part of this, they knew if you shoot a B&W portrait of a woman the entire face needs to be totally matte and uniform, that's why this photo is so good.
I rate this photograph very highly indeed. This has the best composition out of any photograph in the competition. The high contrast black and white gives it an incredible feeling. It is a very dynamic photo, serving as a historical recreation and also art photography. It is cinematic, it seems like it is out of a noir film. Well done, photographs like this one are very special and they take courage to take, because these days most judges won't appreciate high contrast black and white. However luckily this one does!

In this contest I want to see your high fashion photographs depicting women in a scene of total luxury. The photograph can depict any time period in history, as long as it features themes of femininity, indulgence and grandeur. The photographs should have an interesting direction, with quality lighting set ups being a key to separating your photo from the pack. Bear in mind that a photograph that features expensive props or costumes may not automatically have a headstart, as a minimalist approach can also be extremely successful. Your photographs could feature one or multiple women, but please no men. Colour or black and white photos are both accepted. I will judge the photographs on overall feeling, so try to get creative and make me feel something.
