Ha! Get a new lens with a 1.8 capability and its almost predictable that your first go with it is going to involve that f/1.8 aperture, isn't it? It is a gresat lens, even if I think it's an odd focal length for an APS-sized sensor, but in this instance the shallow DOF hasn't served you well. had there been eye-contact here that extreme would have worked well to isolate that look, but without it you are dependent on the shape and your lighting's moulding of her face for your imapact - and that v shallow DOF has removed a deal of that impact from this image. the primary point fo focis appears to be the end of her nose, which is anunusual choice to say the least.
The light is just lovely though - honest, revealing, not too overtly flattering, and presenting us with na honest, genuine portrait; infinitely preferable to the plasticated nonsense that seems ot have appealed to most voters in this challenge. |

| the frown doesn't indicate serenity to me---tighter cropping, softer light |

| Wonderful image and nice capture! Only one comment really, the cheek and strands of hair coming down show signs of post processing (slight halo, skin tones look funny). Overall composition is very good. Nice job. |

| I feel that turning her head just a little more towards the light, bringing a little more light on her right eye (left side of image) would help, plus a sharper focus on the eyes. |

| There is just something about this image that just somehow rings so true...as if you have captured a candid moment between the "posed" shots...the light is also so very nice...very gentle...very nice work. |
