One of those rare instances where over exposure works. Certainly won't appeal to everyone (as evident by the comments so far) but I like it.

This is a wonderful portrait, surprised it didn't do better. A couple of small details may have made a difference, for example the area in the bottom L corner looks dirty for lack of a better word, that probably should have been touched up, same along her L arm, near her elbow. She's a beautiful girl though and this is a very nice effort.

I'm not a fan of blown out highlights for the sake of blown highlights. She doesn't seem particularily dreamy.

Too contrasty and washed out. She looks angry.

Ok - I admit I a fan of high contract images. Don't expect that the rest of DPC is though. I really like this portrait though.
