Thanks for the comments

she is a dear friend, she loves doing poses in front of the camera, yes I doubt this pose was the best, but I liked the eyes

Interesting to see a difference in opinion about the softness of the image, IMO that is what Shallow DOF is all about :)

Happy shooting!

This was one of my favorites of the challenge. I love the softness to the lighting and the colors. Beautiful.

7 from me. I'm uncomfortable with the hands... and... I like that.

Would like it a little less soft for the challenge.

I like the soft overall feel including the lightly saturated tones, and the DOF is very shallow so it meets the challenge well.
It's an unusual pose, though. The way her hands hug both sides of her face looks fascinating when I block the rest of the photo with something, I wonder how a tight crop of that would have looked?

Not a big fan of the pose, but I like everything else about it.
