Great capture! I love the ligthing and the composition! This is a great portrait. The photo does seem just a tad oversharpened? Extra points for originality, DOF and composition!

Love the guy in the background. Photo title is very fitting. A little too bright on her face though.

Nice portriat, just her features are a bit washed out.

Not to sure about the brightness between the two of them. I do like the gentleman in the back. Makes the photo.

This is not a technically flawless photograph (and bravo for that!) But it is a very good portrait ... it's interesting and intriguing. It requires the viewer to actually think; to speculate about both the primary and secondary subjects ... who are they? do they have some relationship? is he just a voyeur? what's she looking at? Stuff like that. So much better than another Barbie & Ken glamour shot! 9.

This is a fantastic shot. I'm a big fan of the focused model in fron tf the un-focused model. I always try to include one of these shots when I'm shooting engagement pictures. All of my clients have loved them. This one was done really great. Hope you do well.

Interesting high-contrast treatment, it works here for me. I very much like the OOF person in the BG looking backon the subject. Addss interest/intrigue without stealing focus from the subject. Nice work!

This shot has interest...makes the viewer wonder what she's looking at. It doesn't really fit my definition of "portrait", but the score is not affected by that. This seems more candid or photojournalistic in nature.

I like the contrast and colors. I can't decide if that guy in the background helps or distracts...maybe a little of both? Anyway, I like the fact that this is different, that the focus is definitely on the model and that we see some expression of interest on her face. Just one woman's opinion but I hope this is helpful.

Nose and cheeks too washed out. I don't really like a second person in a portrait unless it is a group shot.

where's her nose, a bit to overexposed to me.

i really like the contrast here. great capture...great expression. too bad about the face in the background -- it does distract some.

Very powerful picture.. a bit creepy.. but powerful

For me, the skin tones seem....washed out, but not bad.

Great impact, how do you get the contrast so high? Love the graininess produced around the neck, while being so clear on the rest of the pic.

Excellent use of DOF and (I'm assuming) available light. Well Done.

brilliant. one of the best of the bunch. and if the voters can't see it, then it's their loss. love the texturing on the clothing. the gaze and title work well. funny how people get caught checking up other people sometime.

Wow! This is just gorgeous.

very interesting photo. it seems to be telling a story with the man out of focus in the background and the woman looking off. do they know each other? is the man a forgotten love? or maybe he loves her but she does not know, or maybe even care. photo's like this really speak to me, the only thing I am not crazy about is the exposure/color choice. otherwise, top marks.
