I think its a great twist. I love the way he is sort of eyeing you but still not looking at the camera. Precious!

I like the color tones in this shot, and the clarity of her eyes is very nice. The fact that the DOF may be a little shallow is fine IMO as it really brings the viewer to her eyes and lets the rest fall off almost in a soft focus kind of way, which is pleasing in a portrait.

Nice work with your new "toy". Enjoy!!! :D

This is a sweet shot Julie. Try stopping the lens down a bit next time for a deeper DOF.

Enjoy the new lens!

Critique Club Review:

Nice shot.

Focus and depth of field are excellent. Excellent detail on the Bee coming in for a landing, and the flower as well.

Lighting, color, saturation, and hue are all done well.

The bare twigs on the right of the frame are a bit distracting.

What probably hurt you most on scores was that the greens in the plant are not seen by most people as pastels. What comes across as pastel is the three flowers, that make up a very small part of the picture. Since the eye naturally gravitates to the Bee, their effect is almost nil. Many voters here tend to place a high value on the challenge subject as they interpret it.

Still a very good photograph. One that I enjoy, and I'm sure would have score much higer in a different challenge.

Good use of ROT. I think the face is a little too bright though. Otherwise, very nice picture.
