Thought this would score higher than it did, I gave it a 10
well at least you raised your average vote to over 6 . well done.

I like the intense look on the models face and especially in her eyes. Good contrast. I disagree with some of the others, I like the wind blown hair,

mesmerizing eyes. wonderful light off the skin. i only wish the head weren't cropped so tight.

to me, she resembles Jennifer Aniston
01/14/2007 03:36:10 PM
I like this a lot despite the wisps of hair in her face. Lovely pic.

nice shot
01/13/2007 09:57:13 AM
great shot, and a title that isn't "soulful gaze" which i like

Very pretty shot. I would like to see it cropped in on the right just a tad. Nice tonal range. - 8

this is amazing. i think it would have benefited from a little off-center composition. great job though :D 6

The models eyes are absolutely captivating. Somehow I missed it on my first pass (and I was somewhat cranky, voting 500 images, most bad, in one sitting), but I'm bumping this from a 6 to an 8.

the eyes don't give me the impression of sharp, nice otherwise

I wish it had shown a little more of the torso, not too much, just slightly less crop. Beautiful image though

Beautiful, but the eyes and skin are on the border of looking plastic. Or she really has such clean skin? Eight

Great light, I wish the scarf wasn't cutting off her chin so abruptly.

Looks like a young Jennifer Anniston. I really like this one, though it might be a touch too sharp ... i.e., the hair is super sharp versus the soft (softened?) facial features. Still, well done.

The eyes really work in this shot

very nice focus on the eyes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2007 04:52:53 AM
nice use of lighting and the "windy" hair look. if i could see her chin it would realy top this one off in my opinion. her face just looks too incomplete.

awesome eyes, love the connection between subject and lens...as well as the scarf 8
