Gotta agree with Wendy - I like the softness. and the backlighting.

I really liked this shot and gave it a 7. Yes, the face is a little soft, but that works with this, and I don't think it would have been nearly as effective if it was sharper. I thought the softness was part of its charm!

Love the expression on the face and those blue eyes.

I basically like it, but I think it needs more work. I think this could be an excellent image with some touches here and there in post-processing......5....obviously subjective, my apologies if you're a straight from the camera person.

"Hair of Gold, Eyes of Blue" I can't remember who wrote the song, but I know Frank Sinatra sang it!! And I'm sure she's as pretty as the pretty gal they mention, too!

The eyes are nicely done. Although there is some strange colour on the lips or maybe they are just chapped.

Nice portrait, great setup. I think the focus is a bit in front, with the tree bark sharper than the face.

A bit soft, and it looks like there are some blown highlights in her hair (at least in a couple channels). Nice DOF.

Nice exposure. A bit much digital lipstick for me. Top of hair is to sharp for me as well.

She is so sweet and pretty. Love this, the light behind her hair, her expression but the best is the eye contact. Makes the shot for me.
