Her head looks too big for her body. I would back up a little for the shot.

This girl appears to have very pretty eyes...why B/W? Something about the proportions makes her head appear extremely large in comparison to her body.

photo seems a little soft but the title says it all, also like the angle you used, seems like the horizontal would have been more traditional

beautiful eyes I think the angle is throwing me off though with miss proportions. The head just feels too big for the body and I sure its due to the angle and dof of the shot.

The top half of this picture I really like, the bottom no so much. The angle that you chose makes the head seem massive in comparison to the body and it almost looks carton like. Probably not the effect you were going for. The body also seems very soft, which further separates it from the head. I think perhaps flipping her on her side a little and shooting from the side would have helped the size proportions while maintaining your focus on the head. You also might try rotating the shot, as seeing someone lying down but in the vertical position is a little disconcerting. (However everyone does bed shots that way, so marks for creativity)

Looks a little out of focus?

The focus on the eyes looks good but the rest of the model is rather blurred and a bit out of proportion...

Very pretty. I'm assuming the soft focus was on purpose.. it works well in this instance. A tad more contrast would really make this stand out, but this is, regardless, a unique shot that has been nicely executed. I like the angle - it really makes a person notice those lovely eyes.

interesting twist on a portrait.

The idea is interesting but not sure if the effect is flattering or scary.

A little out of focus, but definitely hypnotic.

Was this shot using a fisheye lens? This image looks distorted, almost as though the model's head is too big for her body. The soft focus works well here, but the distortion makes this look less like a portrait and more like a bobble-head figurine.

Just a little bit soft.

too freaky for me...5

I wish I knew what this reminds me of; highly stylised, effective, sensual. I would only wish that this were granteda touch more clarity. Good stuff.
