The clarity and facial expression with all its delicate tones carries the viewer away! My friend, you do deliver some very fine images. Congratulations on your top ten finish.

Wow! one of several great portraits in this field. Perfect light, sharp focus, super job.

Good composition with the placement of the sharp eyes and the framing of the face by the flowing hair. Sweet sweet eyes, maybe they'd look even better with a smaller light source (smaller reflection). 9

I'm guessing this one belongs to you Justin? If not I apologize, I have been wrong before.

The first thing that grabs me is this beautiful young ladies eyes. Amazing is hardly the word to use but the only one that comes to mind right now. Lighting is perfect and overall this shot should do VERY well in this challenge. One of my picks for one of the top spots. Someday I hope to capture portraits like this one, good luck and congratulations on this beautiful shot.

What a beautiful subject! The skin tones are great, and the depth of field is super. One of my favorites this time.

She is very beautiful. Love the crop.

Brilliant capture! She has lovely eyes. I would like to see this in black and white.

I really like this portrait except the reflections in the eye are too distracting. Try a polarizer and keep everything else exactly the same.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2006 04:05:34 PM
Beuatiful skin tones and details in the face. The eyes are beautiful, but the reflections are a little busy. Her mascera is a little clumpy too. Beautiful lighting on the face, especially on the cheeks.

Beautifully done. Very nice focus, colors, levels, contrast, comp. "Jewel" makes the shot and it's in focus.

Beautiful portrait. I like your reflection in her eyes
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/06/2006 07:30:40 AM
not bad, dont like the reflection in her eyes much though. Plus it lacks the wow factor.

Yes! I know this face. Good model, very photogenice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I have seen this face before... very familiar... oh, the "Heart" challenge! JUSTIN! :) OK ok, some comments on the photo instead. I like it. Her eyes, they are simply mesmerizing. Like the way you cropped this, it's a tight crop and well suited for this potrait. Good lighting too. To be nit-picky, I would have preferred if your silhoute is not reflected on her eyes. 9
