Honestly ambivilent about the green but I truly love everything else. 9

Very pretty. Reminds of the portraits of the golden age movie stars. A classic. Would've like the eyes to be slightly desaturated though or is that really your eye color ? :)

You took a beautiful portrait and in my opinion punched it up about 10 notches with a very bold and stirring approach to editing. I love the tones and the crop and think this image is worthy of a ribbon. Great job. 10

wow, I love this one! don't know why but it works, well done!

Staring up at the sky - kind of reminds me of Hamlet's Ophelia. Day-dreaming Laurie.
Post actions
Consider blending out the edges of the contacts. Otherwise- very nicely done.

Very cool. Great lighting. Not a big fan of selective color, but this works.

Post actions
Quite stunning. Super good job!
Post actions
cool eyes, selective desat works well.

monitor recalibration time for me again! At first I thought it was was a little lob sided but looking at the screen from an angle brought out the rest of your hair. Great work (but then you started off with a good canvas)
Post actions
Uha, great picture.. Beautiful work you did on the eyes :o)
Post actions
Heya Laurie, great selective desat! Are you wearing green contacts?
Post actions
This has a very old-Hollywood movie feel to it. Not a fan of the selective color on the eyes, though. 7

I recognize you, I forgot your name :S This is beautiful. Your eyes are stunning and I like the pose.
Post actions
This reminds me of the Phantom of the Opera... very Christine Daie.
Post actions
I think this photo is stunning. Very 1940's Hollywood Glamor. Your expression is flawless as is your skin. I think I would have liked it better without the green colorizations. Even so 10.
Post actions
this is just beautiful!!!
Post actions
stunning...classy...would look fantastic as a print...only criticism is the contact lenses, but otherwise fantastic
Post actions
Stunning! Congrats on such a beautiful image. Good luck...
Post actions
love the tones and processing but not thrilled with the crop
Post actions
Move star quality. Gorgeous skin, great lighting and interesting composition.
Post actions
I think this is a great photo, but I do think the eyes are just a bit too distracting... I like the idea, but maybe with a tad more restraint in my opinion. Otherwise lovely and a great portrait.

Very nice! Love the softness of your skin & the vibrance of your eyes :) Very nicely done

Beautiful lighting, simply amazing

Green eyed beauty. :) Well done.A very photogenic face for sure. The softness definitely works - would like to see a different style of photo from you / of you as well.
Post actions
This selective desat works really well IMHO - it's not overdone. The soft focus is great and I love the old movie star quality/mood.
