| Uhm, what happened in postprocessing? It's hard to determine if there's a good photo underneath, right now it's just a mess of way-oversharpened and over-smoothed regions. |

| Too light underneath the chin. Too much light in the hair. Overall poor quality. |

| Wow, looks like editing gone wild here...the seemingly random blurring and obvious cloning or some such on the eyebrow and around the nose really hurt this shot /4 |

| The focus point seems wrong here. Her near eyebrow has some strange things going on. |

| I don't understand what is in focus and what isn't. There are also spots, such as above the eyebrow, that are extremely odd and distracting...2 |

Odd artifacts, especially at her eyebrow, are distracting. Image is odd in that the smooth areas scream excessive noise removal, and the hair and eyebrow display excessive sharpening.

| I would like to see this more clearly focused. Perhaps if a part, like the eyes, as a focal point the out of focus areas would be less noticable. |

| This looks a bit too candid to me...a bit like a snapshot rather than a considered portrait. |
