The challenge was beautiful girls. One of the most striking feature a girl has in her arsenal is her hair. This photo hides that. Others were better.

This is simply gorgeous. Lighting is awesome, expression is superb and post processing just about right to make the gorgeous capture downright glamorous.

I'm glad to see one of the non-slutty photos won.

I disagree with comment about beauty being destroyed by PS. For any ad agency or portrait purchaser, this would be a perfect picture. Even when my wife was much younger and prettier, I still did my best (in darkroom) to smooth out the reality.

If I was more clever in retouching I could agree, but I'm not so I can't define this pic overdone: I simply voted it starting from my own impression on the final result of the photographer and, because there weren't any restriction on PP at all...
I need to learn more

Hi Garbyrd,
May be somebody needs to learn how to rate an exellent photograph like this, otherwise we can't understand why your great job received 7 (seven!!!) 0,5 stars, unbelieveble.
Great shot and wonderfull highlighted eyes, it deserves the 1st place.
Compliments
Vitto
