I think this is a really nice shot, but it is a bit too washed out for me. I think if you would've kept the colors a bit brighter, this would've been an awesome shot! :)
Nice capture. On my screen the clear focus seems to be on her chest and the charm. Her face is softened along with the background. The reverse would have worked for me. BOL
The shadows across her face and neck are very distracting. The sunlight
looks like it may be causing her to squint, hard to tell with the hair infront of her eye. I like the pose! I would like to see this same shot using more diffused light, that is not so harsh.
The colors are unusual. I don't dislike them. She's too cute be behind the hair. lol Nice shot but I don't think this will fair well on DPC. I hope so ...! Good luck.
I am ok with the "casual" approach, but I think you can do more without going formal. Looking through the hair is ok, but I would like more light on the eyes. The skin tones also seem to be "off" a bit and I think that can be fixed within the adjustments allowed by rules.
You completely lose the personal interaction with the subject as both eyes are obscured. It becomes more of a study in posing to me than a traditional portrait. It's a clear capture but I'm not sure that anyone would want a shot like this of themselves or anyone they know in particular.
