great shot...hope this does well for you...the focus point isn't really clear...it looks like it's around her neck and not here eyes (not that every portrait should have eyes in focus, I think this one should)...Love the pose and face...brick wall in background would have been better as pure blue, black or white, but not brick 7
I really like this take on the challenge. Good eye. Nice crop. People probably don't like the soft focus, but don't worry about that. I hope this knocks off your cheese photo for the top spot. Love the eyes, lips and popsicle.
