brilliant. i spend 3 minutes trying to figure out what the blotch on her forehead was, and then it all became clear (literally) once i gave my monitor a vigorous wipe. stupid dust on the screen.
great shot. |

I never would have guessed that this was yours...although I probably should have when you said that you had done something different.
At any rate, congrats on the very well deserved top-10 finish. If this is the type of portrait work you're capable of, I'm very much looking forward to seeing more. |

| Perfect balance of soft and sharp. I'm curious how that is achieved. Is it DOF, or lens, both or what? |

| I'm not in love with the title, but I am with this shot. Soft light indeed, everything about this shot is soft and inviting, the exposure on the hair and face is spot on. Beautiful model too, of course. |

Everything here works well.
An attractive young lady, pretty eyes, nice tonal range and just enough of a smile in progress to add a nice feeling overall.
For what it's worth, she is one of the more beautiful & photogenic naturals I have seen on DPC.
Very well done! |

| The muted pastel colours, the gradient diffusion, the appropriate amount of neat image, all make this a great photo. One teeny nitpick, is that the asymmetry of the catchlights in her eyes draws my attention. Was the left eye's catchlight postprocessed, or natural? It's a very minor detail, but her eyes are such an integral part of the visual and subjective appeal, that that occurs to me. But a superb photo, the like of which I wish I could take. 9. |

Composition: 10 - Spot on :)
Technical: 9 - Wonderful soft lighting, matched well with a great shallow DoF and soft processing technique. The only thing that bothers me a little is the white dot in the right pupil. Catchlights are good but in this case it makes her eye just look a bit strange.
Creativity: 5 - The location and the pose aren't that creative here but I won't rate that too strongly in the overall average since the photo is a whole is so good.
Appeal: 9 - Beautiful model and beautiful photography.
Overall Calculated Average Score: 9 |

| A fine model and a fine portrait. The soft blurring isn't coming over so well though. The uneveness and irregularities around the shirt straps and in the hair reveal this. |
