1. The model is certainly very beautiful.
2. Your art is certainly superb here.
Thus thanks for sharing and congratulations plus high marks !
BTW Strange things are going to happen because day by day I am getting more and more attracted to all kinds of fractals, manipulations etc. Must be the end of the world coming ... LOL

Nice work here...as above said...she definitely a looker :D and i like the high contrast..nice work :D

At least she is more comfortable now, on the couch, lol. Seriously, it's beautiful, great picture with stunning model.

wow very bright firery red! i like it

Well done Bernd!!! :-)))

Nice pic, I really like the way she posed for you. Bright red hurts my eyes but I have to admit that it's a perfect choise as it creates a stunning contrast. Very nicely done Bernie!

The red glowing on her skin is a very nice touch! She is very beautiful...and her hands are also pretty! Your work is very nice...and the colors all work very well together!

I prefer on the couch pose, the only thing that bothers me is the red background I am afraid. Who is that stunning beauty? Is it your nice assistant Bernie, you naughty boy, lol?

Hi Bernie, WOW, what an eye-catching portrait, indeed! She is a ravishing beauty to say the very least! I love the contrasting colors, they are startling, but beautiful, my friend! This gorgeous girl is............................? Very nice, and artistically done Bernie!! Sincerely, Marilyn

Nicely done Bernd....you have an extremely sharp eye. That red background softly echoes some of your beautiful friend's skin tones .....Very very well conceived, IMHO. Very well done, & I completely agree with Marilyn, very well artistically done as well.
Hugs !

I am really pleased with the c-index... very convincing. It says soooo much about the people who voted for this picture but luckily nothing about the quality of the picture itself. Go on like this, folks, and give a 9 or 10 for every blurry snapshot of a cat. I promise you'll get what you deserve - more poor pictures of stupid cats.

Hey Bernie, Im agree with you, sometimes you dont really know what people want to see, or what they think is "art", youR picture is a great piece, original and so cool...the c-index is just crap...doesn't mean NOTHING, the comments are the most important here, I guess...so if you post SOME "more poor pictures of stupid cats."...you will be in trouble.... LOL
YOU ARE JUST ORIGINAL, WITH A GREAT VIEW, AND SENSE OF ART.....THAT'S THE MOST IMPORT THING, EXPRESS WHATEVER U WOULD LIKE...THATS WHAT IS WORTH... :)

Oh Bernie, what a beautiful picture and what a nice smiling lady - she seems to feel very comfortable about being photographed by you. I like especially the red background... very well done! High votes!

hi Bernie, this looks like one of those glamour shots one sees in fashion magazines. well done! contrasty images may not be everyone's cup of tea, but i'm kinda surprised at the c-index. to me, this is a good picture. cheers, oberon32

A big well done.

Mark.

yea.. i like this... good work.
