OK, Lessons learned:

2. Always look at Submitted images while you can still remove them.

Still working on:
1. Resizing

Very pixelated. Lo-Res? Good concept & usage of background.

Some nasty compression artefacts here - I would suggest checking your compression settings.

The resolution on this image is VERY low -- it's making big pixel boxes on my screen. Did you mean to do that? If not, try to get as close to 150k as you can, that should help.

I like how you mirrored the form of the tree with your pose. It's a tad grainy, but nice overall.

It's very pixelated, so much so that it looks blurry.

ohmegod, lots of pixellation here... you need to do a "bicubic resample" when you resize, or you could've just cropped yourself out... 2.

Focus is too soft.

I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that? Yes...even the location choice shows some character.

Lighting:good

Exposure:good

Focus: a bit soft, but acceptable

Creativity: better than average

Composition:good

Background:Very nice and natural

A bit soft in focus but nice placement on the page. I would have liked to see better lighting on you. To be honest, my eye is drawn more to the greenery behind the tree than to you.

Looks like a snapshot. Why is the image so distorted?
