| I love everything about this except the soft focus. I am sure you chose the softer focus on purpose and it works on several levels ... but if i could reshoot (reprocess) this, a crisper focus would improve it IMHO. |

| I think the closed eyes adds to the impression of happiness you are conveying. I am wondering, however, if you are getting killed in voting for it. Some could take it as a flaw. I'll be curious to see where this places and to read others comments after the challenge. |

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: This is a very unconventional portrait - I'm liking how it breaks a number of conventions. I think the degree of unsharpness here works very well and there is a lot of personality communicated too. The lighting works really well on the jacket and I like how it merges into the background - I'm a fan of the negative space too.
Critical stuff: The above comments might suggest that I really like this image and though I quite like it, I'm not mad about it. Sometimes in comments I say that the image is more than the sum of its part - here, if I'm honest, I feel the opposite - the whole effect is less than it should be. I feel a little guilty about that assessment but it is an honest (and personal) one.
Overall: I like the vision and I think you've executed it well but somehow something has been lost in the process - I wish I could be more specific, but this is just a gut feeling. |

| To bad her eyes are closes as they are the window to the sole and let happiness shine through |

| The lighting may be a tad harsh, but the expression is genuine. I still can't help but to want to see the eyes. |
