Beautiful model. I have to keep coming back to look at this shot because there is something about this model that draws me in. DEFINTELY should have ribboned and by far my favorite of the challenge! SHE is an extremely captivating model!
I would like to tell you how great a shot it is.I hope i'll make them just like you someday the modell is perfectly placed and perfect of shape.Can you send me a e-mail to contact her or is she your wife ??
Furthernmore i can say that the picture is perfectly cut only the white passepartou i would have made a little smaller
congratzz on the 4th place should be red ribbon but keep them comming like this.
The crop is great and I really like that (w/ only one exception as subtle thing that I would like is the loweing of the shirt; she and the shot has just great soft curves the shirt breaks it up for me., the DOF is perfect - literally. The main thing I dont like is the color cast, its kinda greenish-blueish throughout.
Beautiful portrait all the way around... from your model to the composition and lighting. Love it, my favorite so far and I expect to see it in winner's row. :-)
there is a strong yellow cast on the picture, look at the white of her eyes. But if you correct for that you will have a fantastic portrait. Great expression, great crop, nice and close, beautiful girl and make-up.
um...yes. The always lovely Anastasia looks justa bout perfect - lighting, tones, depth, and of course...genetics :)
Best pure portrait in the challenge I'd say.

A good likeness, but the straight on expression just doesn't project any personality, especially with such a tight crop. The shoulder is way too strong a foreground object.
nice portrait of Anastasia. :)
I am not sure I like her cheek cut off like that, but I like her eyes and her expression. nice tilt to her head...feels natural.
a bit of a green cast.
Very nice. The cheeks seem heavily altered tho. Did you do a lot of cloning and/or touch up there? It's very hard to do that right especially on a close up face.
The framing is fantastic and the colors, angle of the shoulder, the lines of the composition really work. The look on the girl's face is really timeless and unique at the same time. - 9
This is an excellent capture. I can't think of anything I can suggest changing. The tight crop works well here, and really shows off those great blue eyes! Nice work.
Beautiful name, beautiful girl, beautiful portrait. The composition is excellent, I love the crop. I would have dodged the whites of the eyes a little to make them a bit lighter, it would also have made the blues stand out more. Also I would have stamped out that bothersome hair going across the right eyebrow. This one will do well!
Great shot.... I am a bit bothered by the green tint her skin has in some places. Maybe a tad bit lighter too. It is nice and clear, and I like the crop.
Simply stunning! It helps to have a pretty subject -- immeasurably, but of course you executed everything perfectly too! Close contender if not the winner! On second glance, I suspect you did a lot of touch-up work on this photo which is challenge legal. I get a "painted" feel about it.
Very pretty. And I know this is going to be the killer but that white hair on her left eyebrow is distracting. My eyes jumped immediately from her pretty blue eyes to that. Also, the shoulder is too outstanding. Add the other one fro balance. BOL
this really jumps out at you saying wow ... 10/10 , one wee point IMHO is the hair above the right eye needs plucked ... as it is very noticable - but still a great photo.
This is a gorgeous portrait, beautifully controlled lighting and DoF. The skin tones are so smooth - I will be interested to see what PS tools you used, if any! Attractive crop to complete a great composition. One of the best.
