Thanks Bob, I liked it to, could of been abit more sharp I guess, but I liked the soft look of it. Glad to of been in 29th place with it though, better than my others, lol.

Denise,
A wonderful photograph. I see nothing wrong with it. This was my favorite of the week.
Brightest highlights slightly blown-out, but that's beautiful lighting overall. I'd like to see a version using a "print-type" duotone using black and a light peachy color
At first I was disturbed by the focus on the rim of the hat, rather than the eyes.. however on further contemplation I do like the effect. It almost serves to draw attention to her face and hair. Good job! 9
This would be an absolutely lovely portrait if it weren't for the focus. It is absolutely critical IMO for the eyes in a portrait to be sharp and unfortunately they are not. The auto focus was probably tricked into focusing on the hat.
beautiful model..you probably wanted the softness, but I would have preferred if the focus was on her more than the hat(maybe a closer crop). Whites are a little blown out, and you could use a little more dark tones.
A superb pose and composition. I think the skin tones are quite a bit flat and somewhat washed out. Her skin looks so perfect, but the exposure didn't capture it as it could have. Nice job. 8
This is a really nice portrait of this person. I like that it's not just a big posed "say cheese" picture but a very nice, natural poignant pic. Its just a little soft and I don't like the way "soft" comes across in this photo. It almost looks like the brim of the hat is the focal point. Very nicely done regardless.
she is stunning!! I really like the lighting, very well done. the hat seems to have great detail, but the face is a touch soft. confuses the eye a bit, but the soft focus/diffusion works well
I like the way you used the technique to enhance the soft focus. Maintained great detail in the hat. Only slight negative is that the compostiion is a too centered horizontally.
wonderful picture, normally you would want the eyes in focus, but the hat in focus adds creativity, depth, and something else i like but can't descibe. the soft focus on the skin and hair works well. The soft lighting adds to the overall presentation of the subject. 10
The focus in the picture is on the weave of the hat, not Whitney's face -- did you intend that? If so, that's a really interesting perspective. If not, hmmmm . . . .
