Greetings from the critique Club!! The composition of the portrait is lovely. The idea that her expression and placement convey is very interesting for the viewer. The editing in the hair makes it almost appear like lines of tiny dots. It is an interesting effect, one that the voters at DPC will either love or hate. The focus seems to be on her hair, taking away from her face. There is a lot of noise and pixilation in her face and the background, while it can be acceptable in the background, on her face it looks like a lot of green and brown spots. It looks like a small picture blown up very big. Fits the challenge perfectly. Overall, a nice portrait that encountered some promlems in post-processing.
Nice work and keep shooting!

This is grainy, overexposed and not clear at all. She has lovely hair and features and in the right light and with clear focus, this would really work.
I like the angle and how she is looking down. The title gives clues to what she's doing. I'm not sure if you were trying to pull off an over processed look on purpose, but it doesn't work for me.
..Unless this is intentional.. seems a bit over-processed. the picture looks to have a great deal of potential, but way too grainy and pixelated. I onder if it's a compression issue? I'm still learning myself, so if I'm way off-base just disregard.
Way too over sharpened for my liking. It is a pity because I really think this could have been a lovely natural shot. I would recommend redoing it without so much sharpening as this photo would definately be a keeper.
This image is so noisy, it hurts my ears. The compression artifacting is unattractive as well. You may optimize your filesize up to 150kb, try to preserve the quality and integrity of the original photo.
