| And a beautiful young lady she is. I realize you were probably going for a soft focus here but it came out more blurred to me than a soft effect and the hair in her face is really a bit of distraction. Did she just come out of the shower, hence the wet, tousled look? It's a classic pose and well done, just needs a bit more focus and a bit more light, it comes across a bit dull on that aspect. A 5 |

Lighting: Evenly lit, but with a slight cast and no catchlight to give the eyes some expression.
Pose: Works, but the motion blue is distracting. A soft focus would have worked better.
Background: Her hair is the main element of the background and works well.
Sorry, but this looks more like a quick snapshot of her after a shower than a planned and posed portrait. |

| Good attempt at a moody. evocative look; on my monitor it could use maybe just a touch more contrast. |

Skin tones and background go together very well! Nice subtle lighitng that brings out depth without blown out highlights. Nice soft focus. Kudos

| This has potential...it needs to be in sharper focus. I understand that you may have been going for a soft focus look, but there's a fine line between soft focus and out of focus. You are close, however. I like the composition of the shot, her downward gaze, and the warm lighting. :o) |

| Love the look but do not like the exposure |

| I like the semi-messed up hair, gives it a realistic look. It's like a portrait of someone in real life, not just a set-up perfect model. I think the lighting could be a bit better. |

| looks like her hair was probably moving when you took the shot, also maybe a little under exposed. The crop and closeness gives it a nice feel though. |

| I think that's the exact title of the last one I voted on! Your image has a very "moody" feel and an unusual composition. Focus on the eyes seems a bit soft. |

| Of course one is open to misunderstanding taking a stance on the challenge theme, but it seems to me the 'formal studio portrait' element was pretty strongly stated. This looks like a crop from a snapshot, I fear: weak and indistinct lighting, poor processing; a certainn moodiness, but the cropping lets it down and doesn't bring much life to the image. It seems the kind of thing that would benefit hugely from a black and white presentation - and that tells as much about its suitability for this challenge as anything else. 3 |

| Nice composition and getting close. It is a touch out of focus. Always want the eyes to have good focus on them. |

Well, you like this shot offcourse, because she is your love, but to me it looks out of focus.
A bit more sharpness would do this portrait good IMHO. |

I quite like this shot.
It's technically not the greatest, but i like her expression and the way you have posed her
Good luck
This shot looks so much better in the thumbnail. I keep looking at it in the thumbnail and wondering why i only scored it a 7. Well i'm going to bump it up anyway. |

Disheveled hair is distracting, but that's just me.

| This has the feel of a Renaissance painting. |

| This is a bit too soft focus. Her eyes appear very flat and lifeless. There is no sparkle. Her hair looks wet--an odd choice without some kind of background context to clue the viewer in. |

| Great pose and composition, lacking a little in sharpness/clarity....if it's soft focus then i dont think it's quite soft enough not to look like a mistake....in my opinion....if you know what i mean.......nice job though. |
