| This is a lovely portrait. Simple and not overdone in any aspect. Her pose is natural and has a wistful air to it. The sepia puts a melancholy twist on it. I like the hair tumbling over her shoulders. Very nice!! |

| You got her here at such a wonderful pose and expression. It's not readily discernable what she's thinking, so it keeps my interest. Your clarity and lighting help too. Nifty! |

So where's the rest of the shots? You lucky dawg ; )
Forget the challenge, this is an excellent portrait. A clean background and less shadow would have been better, but I can't fault the model I mean the exposure & focus on the model! Keep 'em comin'. |

| Well done, I may say this a lot, but I think the score definitely is far from what is deserved. I would have expected at least mid to high 5's. But as you said you were not shooting for the challenge, so its really a bonus shot. :) Karen looks really pretty in this photo too :) |

Composition: I would have preferred the subject more in the left of the frame, possibly more upright.
Technical: Excellent colourisation and lighting. The border looks ok, but I can't help thinking it would look the same with a solid colour outside the white line.
Meets challenge: Ish
Overall impression: Nice soft focus, very well done, but not sure about the composition.

Great portrait. Love the lighting, how it seems to draw attention to the face and the eyes. The toning is great as well, the balance in tones is so good.
The only distraction is the black patch behind the head.
Nice border. |

I think I can see that you were trying get that wistfull look. Her expression is OK but IMO the effect would have been multiplied and allowed me to vote higher if you had taken this at location e.g.railway station (older style) that would have evoked and echoed her expression. In other words something to suggest the reason for the wistfull look.
Composition and setting wise the strong flash - I would have used a reflector at the left to reduce the effect of the shadow and tried to position her so that the curtain did not cut her face in half. |

| Nice shot. Portrait shots really have to convey a feeling to me to be considered "worth 1000 words". Combined with the title (which couldn't be better) you have a great entry here. |
