 This is a shot of my ex on the morning of her 21st. It's completely natural, there was no set up for this other than prodding her in the head. I don't expect for this shot to do amazingly but as I've just joined as a member I didn't have much time. This is definitely my favourite shot of last year, I hope you like it too :-p

I see her face and one arm, maybe a hand, but too much other limbs, not sure what they are, which is interesting. I would have liked to see more of her face.

I like the DOF in this image. I even like the whites in the eyes.

nice expression and the eyes look great. I am not terribly fond of the composition and would like more contrast, but not bad overall.

i love the expression on her face - but there seems to be a bit much smoothing done in the post processing

Brilliant eyes, and I love how the tousled hair matches her cheeky look ;)
