I know this is going to do really badly because of the bright spot on my nose... it SUCKS! BUT... I didn't have time to do another, and I got all dressed up to do this photo... and I want to see how it does... so I'm entering it. I know I'm going to get comments like "The nose is too bright!" or... "whats up with your nose?" but hey... it's kind of cool... I used a center focus filter on this... barely any levels adjustments.. and shot it in raw and messed a bit with the exposure. Full frame, no cropping.

what is the glare on her face?

On my monitor her nose looks a little too bright. With the extreme effect you have here, I'd want to try further experimentation, such as applying a canvas filter to make it look painted, or layering it with a picture of some nice fluffy clouds at a low opacity level.

too much light on the nose...I found it a bit distracting from the shot

The white reflection is the clprit.

Nicely composed, but I think there's a bit too much light on the nose and not enough on the rest of the face

Your concept and subject in this portraiture is good. It may be to "soft". You might want to show more detail of your beautiful model. The bright lighting on the nose does not do justice to her in this image.

There isn̢۪t enough detail in the eyes for this to work as a portrait and the nose seems unusually bright compared to the rest of the face.

It's a very nice effect, but the excessive brightness on the nose pulls to much attention to itself.

The light on her nose looks a bit unusual and not very natural. Other then that a pretty shot of a pretty lady. Love the white fuzzy sweater.

Like it, but I think the light on the nose could be a little less intense as it hides what look like very beautiful eyes.
