When I see a shot like this down at 61st (I thought it was top 10 for sure) makes me think I was very lucky to scrape 78th!
Nice to see you submitting again; it's been a while.
Probably one of the best self-portraits I've seen so far. Nice composition, tones are perfect, and I love how the limited depth of field puts all but the bubble and left side of your face out of focus. It's a very cute concept, as well. Your eyes and expression convey the message very nicely, making the title believable.
Wonderful work.
This is great. I love the idea & title, and I love the wild crop at the top. It would be easy to underestimate this image because of the light-hearted approach, but it is also a really good photograph. You must know your model pretty well. 7.
Back for second opinion ... what was I thinking? This is better than 7. It's the most joie-de-vivre portrait in the challenge. Bump right up to 9.
Returning for comment: I like the pose, crop, and tones very much. Most everything works well here, except perhaps I think a little more DOF to catch both eyes sharp would have been nice. A very effective portrait, IMHO.
i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image to try to figure out what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.
how much fun you must have had doing this! as a moment, very well caught. the soft focus, though, is leaving me grasping for details. visually, i'm having a hard time reconciling the far right--i can't get a feel for just what your hair is doing. i think the lighting is also washing out the range of tonalities and character that might be found in your face. but, all the same, i like the essence of whimsy that you've captured. good luck!
Composition: 8, I like that some of your head is cropped out. I think neatly cropping to just include all of your head would only detract from the shot
Technical: 8, Love the DOF that softly blurs all but your face
Appeal: 8, Fun feeling shot
Challenge: 9, Transmits message of title quite well
Overall Calculated Average Score: 8
I love this! Great attitude in this shot. Love the look and the bubble gum. Nice soft treatment but I love the look in the eyes most. Oh, and yay for freckles!!!! :-)
This image is fun to watch and while a tad more sharpness is desired, the overall effect remains very strong because of the mischievious askance stare in conjunction with the bubble. Bumping up.
Love this. Do you have pig tails too? IF you do which I think you do It would have been nice to have seen them more. 9 anyways. cute shot.
You also look like an actress with red hair. cant think of her name right now but if I do I will come back.
OK im back...you look like Julianne Moore. Now I can rest. :P
