I was thinking this would get at least top 50. The background threw it a bit for me, bringing it down to a 9. I got a bit of astro-turf feel from it, rather than a classy satin or velvet.
She is lovely and in spite of the somewhat artificial look, I love that eye!
I really like this. The stong off-centre view makes for an interesting composition. The selective desat. does a really god job to attract the eye to her face. Not sure if this would have been as good without the slective desat. Good work.
Blue Eyes is going to fight it out with Red Pumps. Simply great. 9 Here. BOL
I take it that is grass she is laying in?!
Simply thinking out loud: I was, and am, bothered by the texture. I am guessing it is meant to offset the soft skin?
Sorry but I have to say that I STRONGLY dislike the eyes, they don´t even remind me of eyes anymore but like someone put tiny little CD´s over her irises. I still gave this a 6 as the composition and rest of the shot are pretty good.
This is very nice! My only nit-pick would be that her whites seem too grayish, like there might have been a touch of bloodshot. The blue is very vivid and bright....not natural color but really pops!
Eyes are just a *little* too hyper-realistic for my tastes. Even with contacts, that's just too metallic. It's a nice unique portrait though, and good B&W conversion.
I stopped longer at this photo than for most of the others, It took me a while to make up my mind what I really think of it, then it must be interesting I think. Yes, I really like it, maybe you should have had the eyes more blue, not cyan, but otherwise this is interesting and creative, well done!
