The most underrated shot I have seen for a long time...I cannot believe this Jen! 62 out of 236! I came in at 19 and my shot is nowhere near as good as this! BOO to the voters, BOO!!!
Beautiful! Great portrait and well suited to the challenge, I think. I am stumped by the offending comment.
Me too.
Thanks for the great comments and feedback guys.
And to be honest, I didn't even notice the handprint behind her until after I had posted it. Weird huh? Just added a quirky little touch, I think. And I suck at coming up with titles, so Freckle face was probably pushing it a bit. :-D
You had a few strange comments such as "This photo is offending!!! >:(" - which I cannot agree with. Wish it had done a little bit better for you. Perhaps accentuate the freckles and clone the handprint.
You must be proud of this shot. It is a wonderful portrait that is technically spot on. Your overall score will be dependent upon how the voters relate to it and how they think it meets the challenge and not with anything related to its photographic shortcomings. Hope this scores well for you because it deserves it.
very pleasant portrait. good light in the eyes. Can't decided if it looks a little strained though. Almost like those people that make you say cheese and wait 3 seconds before the shutter goes. I can't put my finger on it. I think I'd have to know her to decided if she was really happy or not.
Portraits are my least favorite subject matter...but this one is wonderful! The skin tones and lighting look so natural and untouched (not oversaturated,etc.) and the photo is so simple--yet not boring. Even better--it fits the challenge! One of my top picks. Good luck!
Technically, this photo is fine. Unfortunately, the subject just isn't anything exciting... it's a portrait that tells no story or emotion and shows nothing of this girl's personality.
Maybe it's me but I'm not seeing the freckles! Regardless, this is a really nice image. Well shot and whatever editing you did if any came out well. 7.
