Thank you so much Jason, for your very nice comments! I posted this as almost an afterthought at the tail end of the challenge, as I just wasn't too sure it worked. --Melanie (mlynn)

I felt this one needed a comment since it's so gorgeous. When I was younger, I read a lot of comic books, the dark and scary kind that had their own kind of beauty, and as soon as I saw this shot it took me back. This shot just screams "cover art" for one of those. The nice dappled lighting on the face, the texture of the hair blending into darkness, and the eye looking right into the viewer's centerline is just great. The way the shadows from the strands of hair look like streaks of tears coming out of the corner of her eye is kind of chilling, and really keeps the tone. Great stuff!
