| This is a great shot. I have pretty much given up on this web site and the users abilities to rate images. You get a snapshot of some kid blowing out candles or something and it wins over shots like this. Just had to let you know it was awesome. |

WOW, I'm surprised to see you come in a place so far out from the top 3. This is a great shot but it's not from your normal creative side.
Congrats on keeping it on the top 25 though. haha

| As far as a portrait goes, I think this is pretty darn perfect. The sharpness is fantastic, the bokeh is beautiful, and the composition and the pose are great. I'm wondering if users will not be appreciative of the fact that there is very little tonal contrast in the image; it's almost a sepia picture with the exception of the eyes and slight magenta in the lips and face. While I'm sure that's the intent (it certainly brings the focus in on the eyes), the rules specifically state "no sepia!" and I hope people don't revolt as a result. :-) I will say that the eyes do feel a bit overprocessed to me, which seems to be a trend among a lot of the color portraits here. I think there is something to be said for a more natural feel, which leaves the viewer with a more genuine appreciation for the photo. Also, be careful of burning highlghts in post, as the whites become dull and grey, and again not as realistic. Areas that are already blown out don't benefit from burning as there is no detail to extract from the area, and it's my opinion that it's OK to have blowouts in your shot if they are appropriate! That being said, I think it's a really nice photograph and one of my favorites in this group. Good job. |

| Very nice work on this one. It looks from the eyes as though you used a couple flashes or reflectors also. Is that the case? Anyway, nice job. |

| WOW awesome eyes, the background works really well too with the whole color scheme, was the background taken that way or did you blur it out? nice job |

| WOW - awesome eyes. The bokeh is nice but a touch "hot" at the top. I like the illlumination of his face. Well done overall. |
