I like the softeness. The tight crop above the eyes creates an intimate feeling.

Comment by tomlewis1980:
Nicely focused on the gum and the left eye, think I would have prefered it not to be quite so tightly cropped at the top but stilll a great shot. 9

Comment by Jinjit:
Funny and flattering portrait IMO.
I love the tones and the lights. I just wish your eyes had been a bit more in focus.

Returning for comment: I like the pose, crop, and tones very much. Most everything works well here, except perhaps I think a little more DOF to catch both eyes sharp would have been nice. A very effective portrait, IMHO.

Comment by Skip:
i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image to try to figure out what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.

how much fun you must have had doing this! as a moment, very well caught. the soft focus, though, is leaving me grasping for details. visually, i'm having a hard time reconciling the far right--i can't get a feel for just what your hair is doing. i think the lighting is also washing out the range of tonalities and character that might be found in your face. but, all the same, i like the essence of whimsy that you've captured. good luck!

Composition: 8, I like that some of your head is cropped out. I think neatly cropping to just include all of your head would only detract from the shot
Technical: 8, Love the DOF that softly blurs all but your face
Appeal: 8, Fun feeling shot
Challenge: 9, Transmits message of title quite well
Overall Calculated Average Score: 8

I love this! Great attitude in this shot. Love the look and the bubble gum. Nice soft treatment but I love the look in the eyes most. Oh, and yay for freckles!!!! :-)

Comment by graphicfunk:
This image is fun to watch and while a tad more sharpness is desired, the overall effect remains very strong because of the mischievious askance stare in conjunction with the bubble. Bumping up.
