Yes, the title should have been Bonita. I blame google.com/translate :)
Sorry, I couldnt come up with a witty title.
Should have scaled back on the skin smoothening.

At first view, this portrait is very appealing with it's spot on clear eyes and nice lighting. I sense a touch of yellowing which could probably be fixed with some post editing work of saturation adjustments. The composition is nice and the DOF is well executed. Her expression is pleasant and not at all cheesy. The lip color works well with her skin tones. If I were to nitpick anything, it might be the red track suit type jacket. In a perfect set up, I think I'd like to see more shoulder skin tones and maybe less of the top. I don't always like jewelry, but the silver earrings suit her so well and adds a nice contrast to her lovely black hair. Overall, this is well done with the unassuming sense that you get when photographing outdoors. You have a great eye and it certainly shows here. Best of luck with your future entries. And yes, Mansi is MUY BONITA!! Judy
it should be bonita..well if she is indeed a she :p nice light but i find it weird that you should use that dof where her eyes and lips are in focus but not her nose.
Shouldn't that be bonita ... the feminine form of the word? (ok, I confess, I don't speak spanish which is probably what you meant ... but I do speak portuguese fluently and in portuguese the word would be bonita)
ENOUGH of the language lesson. ;-)
Nice lighting. Looks like sunset light with its warm rays. Love the colors, and the shallow DOF. Expression seems natural rather than posed. Good luck in the challenge!
