Lovely model, like the soft focus..maybe if she actually had a flower in her hair?

I can see the love in the eyes, but that whole blown out blur thing doesn't quite work here. Flowers in the hair would have been better.

Not really sure what you were trying to do with this...the blur, blownout areas to the right and upper-right look like a mistake. Just an observation.

Interesting photo, it looks like she moved her head but the fact that here face is so sharp throws me off. I keep trying to makes sense of it but can't. Perhaps it would have been better to call it "Dazed and Confused" because that's what it does to me. :)

The ghosting blur is a bit distracting. I think the color is nice though.

At first glance this looked really good. But the hair/blur is very distracting.

not sure what to make of this, i think the blur (from long exposure?)really hurts what could otherwise be a nice portrait. additionally i dont see any flowers..... /5

Oddly, I am as put off by this image as I am attracted to it. The flare in the upper right is actually frustrating to me, as it seems to me to be ruining an otherwise fine image. Is it just there, or has it been added/enhanced in pp? I would like to see a more straight version of this.

I'm not sure of what effect was intended. The clearly focused eyes are great, but the head and hair have a very odd result. Was too much dodging performed? There are some streaks coming out straight down from her chin and her lower left cheek. I'm abstaining from voting, so as to not bring down your score. I just wanted to voice my opinion on this image.
