Although beyond the pale in post processing, I like this. Back off a bit possibly, your model is too good looking to need it!

The title is too critical of itself. It tends to be a bad idea to be critical of you own work or subject. Let the viewer form his or her own opinion. On the creative side it seems too posed. To easly done in photoshop.

thats a little hars to say your "no beauty"
filters or effects that greatly effect your picture are gonna kill you on dp
i suppose you are slowly learning this
there is nothing special about the shot
its white on one side, gray on the other
and it all looks flat and distorted
the positioning is nice

Too Photoshoppy. Layer this filter with another filtered layer and play. It looks less straight-out-of-computer that way.

This would have worked for me if there was more light on your face. Good work, though.

I really don't like the PP here, it's just too much.

LOL, I bet it's not glamarous enough for a lot of voters, but I like it very much and who says you're no beauty???

Don't discount inner beauty! This works. Don't know how it will be accepted, but it iscreative.

I would've voted this higher if you left it as a clean color shot. Still a 5 from me.

Nonsense, you seem beautiful enough! I don´t like the post processing though, just not at all appealing to me and that is why I gave you a pretty low score of 3.
