You are quite right on two points -- sloppy masking and an outdoors shot. I was rushed in my editing (shot the last day) and had zero indoor portraiture opportunities during the week. My camera will only achieve a shallow DOF on macros, hence my attempt to achieve it in post-processing. |

| Not a good title. Sorry. :) I do like everything about the photo except for that pale egg and her out of focus arm. Maybe I'm not getting it. Anyway, just my .02 cents. Good luck. |

| OH MAN! You almost nailed this image! SO CLOSE, I feel for you. If only you had the plane over her face to the egg to be in focus then you would have had an awesome image well worth an 8 or 9. Unfortunately, the beautiful necklace distracts me and the garment she is wearing under the jacket makes me want to look at her boobs--my eye goes right to that area. |

This photo seems to suffer a bit from the post editing.
The shallow DOF seem to have been edited-in through blurring and sharpening, am I correct? Giving this photo an almost artificial appearance.
Nonetheless, I still think this is a fairly good photo, and will vote it well. |

| The hand and egg is terribly distracting from this shot. I think I just would have like thid one better had you cropped out the whole left side and just focused on the girl. |
