| I like the composition, but the focus seems a bit soft and needs more contrast. |

| The expression on your face doesn't seem quite right for a self portrait, but the lighting and soft focus are very well done |

| Great post. It almost looks like an old photo. The picture seems a bit out of focus. not sure what could have happened because it looks like the timer was set. maybe you moved when the shutter when off. Nice lighting. good luck. |

| Blurry, which is a minus, and not enough contrast between the hair and the background, but I like the almost painterly pose. |

| A classic look. When I saw this, I immediately thought of the commissioned paintings of royalty you might see over the fireplace in some elite home. I'm torn on whether I find the softness of the focus a distraction or whether it evokes a romantic feel. Remember the old-time movies when the close-ups of the starlette were slightly out of focus? That's what this looks like and it's not altogether a bad technique. |

| The soft focus works well. Unfortunately I find the earring too bright and my eye keeps getting drawm to it. |

Hi there,
This photo has that old fashoned look to it. Too bad the focus is a little soft. I'm not sure that your hand there adds to this shot. I would have cropped this one so there are more "Lead in" rather than have you centered in the middle. |

| I suspect, this portrait may not fare as well here as, IMO, it should. The focus is very 'soft'. The hand, perhaps, a tad too cut off, the frame quite massive, considering the size of the picture. Yet, I like it quite a bit, because of the turn of the century manner and, not least, the sincerity communicated by both manner and subject. > 6 |

| Godd use of b&w, I really like the soft focus and simple elegance of your shot. Demonstrates a longing. It also speaks of self confidence and your beauty. I think photography should communicate a feeling and i think you have done that very well. |
