Well....this is me. I hope no one leaves a "you're ugly" comment. Hehe. I hope this scores above a 5.5. I have no idea how the voters will take it. :/

This is pretty much advanced editing. I burned a bit around my face, dodged and burned my eyes/lips, made my eyebrows look a little more even, changed the hue/saturation, brightness/contrast, & shadows/highlights, and added a very slight diffuse glow.

Let's see... how can I put this... ok-- if nearly all of the pages were torn out of the last dictionary on earth and "ugly" was the only word left to use, I'd have to remain speechless.

It's a beautiful portrait that conveys both outward and inner beauty. And I like the distracting hair. :) Well done and congrats on a great score.

The hair across the nose is a little distracting but other than that, Great picture!. No way anyone could say "you're ugly", unless they had no perception of true beauty.

and if someone left a "you're ugly" comment, I'd open up a case of whoop-ass on them.
This is a very nice portrait Leisha.

It's a beautiful shot...but, I wish under your neck wasn't so dark. It gives the appearance that your head is floating in mid air...not attached to anything.

Absolutely stunning. Perfect focus and colors. The hair wisps over your face in combination with the crop - superb. 9

Wow sharp image, love the wispy hair. I like that it isn't over processed... nice expression, you should smile more, you're too young to be so serious!
