This is truly an awesome shot; and heres what I like about it; there isa a great amount of focus in all th eright spots, the eyeball is placed perfectly and the viewer is gravitated in a circle ending up on the pupil. The composition is further enhanced by the wrapped light blue perfectly complimentary hood; and then, the expression, which is confident and not contrived, makes this gold.
Perhaps the only criticism, if any, is the tightness of thew subject aspect, perhaps seeing a bit more blurred for persective, but then again, that is what framing and matting is for. |

Hey folks, thanks for all the comments..! Just to correct some things... first of all, this was not a set up shot! It was completely an accident and therefore I did not go for this pose deliberately, the hood wasn't oh so perfectly over the other eye, didn't shoot in RAW so I couldn't fix the burnout and so and so. Second, her eyes and skin are like that. Believe it or not. I'm the last person to take original details out of pictures, and if that means bloodshot eyes, then so be it. That is however a matter of oppinion, whether you like it or not. And even better, I did no spot levels/curves on this image, meaning the eyes are no whiter than they should be. Maybe a bit too sharpened especially on the right side hair I agree, but no, not way too much.
But again, thanks for at least commenting, made my day. |

How can I not bump this up even more! Very original composition, great expression and I love the side lighting! The out of focus foreground and background add an enormous amount of depth! The only minor thing I migh say is that IMHO, the tiny bit of left eye seen is a tad distracting (perhaps because it's only the white of the eye we see here?).
this image really tells a story, even without the title! WOW, very well done. I hope you score high!!! |

| such a great shot! love the personality that comes through. My only suggestion is go easier on the eye whitening. My rule of thumb is to whiten until I think it looks good, then fade it to 30% or 40% of that - in case you even care what I do!Really nice work though |

Love the use of the hood to frame the face. Lighting is lovely. This has a lot going for it....
....but she looks a bit sinister with no pupil showing in her right eye. |

| Good shot, the blood shot eye makes the image a little darker. Very interesting focus. |

| Well it's a good idea and a potentially appealing pose, but I think something seems to have gone wrong between camera and DPC. I know that you've gone for this look deliberately, but she appears a little muppet-like to me. I'm prepared to suffer your wrath about my comment ... I take that risk only because I think you've taken a very good portrait of a very good model, and then slipped. Still worth a 6 from me, but should have been higher. Sorry! |

| This is an interesting perspective. I didn't think I would likeit when i saw the thumbnail but i do. The blood vessels in her eyes are very distracting though. Great that you filled the frame with your model and lighting is right on. |

| Among the great images in this challenges. Wonderful lighting, beautiful model. Great detail and textures, including in the shadows. My only drawback on this image in the veins that can be seen in her very lovely eyes. A little cloning would have taken this a notch higher. Good Luck! <8> |

| Uber sharp, super sharpness and shallow dof works great together, bringing the focus straight to her eyes. Her eyes seem a bit processed though, are they? Good job, rememberable shot. |

| This is advanced editing. Why didn't you take out the bloodshot eyes? I think you should either have the other eye all the way covered up or visible, not partially covered as it is here. |

| Oh I'm so glad you're creative :D I really like this one! A nice breath of fresh air from the standard "glamor" shot (not that there aren't some really nice ones in there too). Love the eye thing you got going on. |

| Cool use of DOF .. Nice sharpness on the left eye. Because of the wa the eyes are ooking up, the hood and the hair, the right eye looks kind of creepy to me |
