First comment and I'm already pissed, that vote took me from 6.88 to 6.5. And the worst is, the commenter has no clue. "Too much bad Photoshop" – Huh? This is basic editing! "Missed point of focus"? Girl, get some glasses. "Eyes too sharp"? Again, this is Basic, the eyes are in focus as they should in a portrait. Girl, throw away your camera and pick up watercolors...

Nice colour palette and interesting crop on a striking looking girl.

Personally, I think that this should have been in the top 3.

Beautiful model. Howeer the severe cropping ruins the image. Also her head is turned so far that you cannot make out the catch light in her one eye so it looks strange. Do a less severe crop and have her turn her head a bit more toward the camera and it would be very nice. Also I wonder why you did not go with a total white background on such a high key image?

Overall I appreciate the effort that went into this, even if it does not totally do it for me...with some minor adjustment this could have been outstanding. :)

Nice lighting but looks oversharpened on the eyes and lips with too much highlight detail (I am being positive here, this turned out to be a challenge with horrible input)...

Beautiful high key portrait. The background colour compliments her colouring so well.

Very pretty! Love the muted tones of her dress and the background. Not 100% sure about the framing, but a 9 none the less!

I recognize her. She does look like a Barbie Doll, now that you mention it.

Pretty model. Looks a little flat though for me. Maybe some contrast boost would do the trick

Beautiful lighting, beautiful model, I like the composition with the negative space on the left. The soft blue background brings out the blue eyes. Excellent!
