Well I wish I wouldn't have been away so I could have voted. I agree with many of the posts below. Depth of Field is my biggest gripe. Both eyes in focus as well as your lips would make this just amazing. You're a striking woman and a powerful presence. Do us all a favor and try again with this very picture. Try out all of the suggestions and then post them for us to see. You can post them in the forum I imagine, if not I will happily help you find web space for it. Good Job though, really.

Very soft, bright and just amount of lighting. Only thing I see is the area above your left eye. Other than that I love it. 9

Beautiful eyes

I think this is a wonderful picture. Great eyes. My only criticism would be the fade effect. Your lips being faded out are almost detracting from your eyes.

Magazine worthy. Very nice. Not much needed here, your eyes the main point, takes all my attention. I would have both eyes focused, since you are looking almost strait at us :) Overall, very nice photo :)

Love the focus on the eyes and the softness of the rest of the face, very pretty portrait.

I wish this was a tad sharper. Perhaps using a smaller aperture would have helped. You are very pretty though.

beautiful eyes..beautiful shot

I'm glad you kept your eyes in focus. The rest of your face and neck seem to just gently fade out of the frame. Excellent 'high key' lighting; nicely done. BB

Very trippy havin the one eye in sharp focus.

Nice blue colour. i would have liked if the face was not cropped from the left side of the frame

Amazing eyes!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very pleasant. But I think it would be even better if your two eyes were in focus.

Such a crisp and clean image, almost like a Snow Princess (that's a compliment in my book). I love how your eyes stand out, but don't distract.

Nice composition and pastel colours but too bad your left eye is not in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

How pretty! I love the soft dreaminess of this. Love it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/05/2007 11:58:19 AM
I really think this is a nice SP, and like the soft feel to it, however would have liked to see the other eye in focus. Your beautiful eyes are what capture the attention. Great composition and lighting.

Pretty image. The softness works great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That back eye out of focus is really bothersome, but otherwise quite nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/05/2007 07:44:26 AM
Soft focus used to great effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/05/2007 05:48:14 AM
Wow. A very good sp. Love the composition, pastels and the soft lighting. Also super the way you seem to be looking through the camera rather than at it.

 12/05/2007 04:30:57 AM
i like how the eyes are made as the centre point here, Nice colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/05/2007 03:58:46 AM
nice focus on the eye. the softness works very well. Personally I would've cropped it just above the eyebrow to get that overall pastel thing going.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/05/2007 02:39:59 AM
Love the lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/05/2007 12:24:15 AM
Nice portrait, what would have bumped this even higher for more is just a little more depth with the focus to get your other eye in focus
