I love the color in this, great lighting as well.

The acid-tones work for me. Dig that blue hair and the blur. Back to bump this up.
Post actions
Nicely suggestive portraiture, well done.
Post actions
the moody blues, quite effective.
Post actions
Nice artistic style portrait.
Post actions
Unusual and nicely executed portrait.

Post actions
One of the few soft focus shots that I like.
Post actions
a very nice shot...did you add a gaussian blur to the background overlapping on the hair...doesn't matter...just wondered
Post actions
Nice shot. Good expression and colors.
Post actions
The arm is distracting a bit, otherwise the mood is so wonderful! Very well done!
Post actions
Strong composition which succeeds to a degree as an abstract.
Post actions
beautiful tones, composition. Love the hair over the eye--has a subtle Aeon Flux feeling, too. 8

I love the soft focus ... nice!

It's the tone and the mood that keeps bringing me back to this photo...I think it is very much possible for there to be good blues!
Post actions
lovely image overall, gorgeous colors, but I feel like the shoulder is a little awkwardly out of place, due to it's clarity and position.
Post actions
This reminds me of stuff by heavyj

not sure im too fond of the green backgorund. might have been fun to make it black ancc white so that the girl and her blue-ness would stand out more. dof seems a bit shallow too, although i like the amount of blur on her dress, its perfect. her elbow is a bit distracting in this pose
Post actions
Interesting colours, I like the pose.
Post actions
Subtle and beautiful. :~)

Love the softness in this shot. It serves up the blue mood.

Love the tone of this shot, great pose as well1

A mix bag for me. The top half is very strong but the lower half looks awkward to me.

sweet shot great dof and perspective
Post actions

Post actions
some might not think this is my kind of shot, but I love a good composition, and that's what this has.

Surprisingly beautiful despite the blue stuff.
Post actions
Leaves a brooding mood, very effective.

Gorgeous. Great use of DOF.
Post actions
The detail of the hair really stands out against all the soft focus and blurred background.
Post actions
Breaking all the rules, aren't ya? Nothing in the picture is sharp except a few strands of hair and the immediate curve of her shoulder, and the face is almost entirely hidden. The interesting thing is just how much we *can* make out about her despite the softness; that she is, for instance, of Asian extraction, that she *does* seem sad or at least introspective, and even, possibly, that she's normally somewhat of an extrovert, given the cut of her clothing.
Post actions
I like the overall feel of this photo. I find her shoulder is a little distracting.
Post actions
The color of the hair and the dress fits very well. Nice deep blues!
Post actions
The pose actually has potential IMO, Too little DOF for my taste
Post actions
Prefect position. The blues are wonderful.
Post actions

This is stunning! I love the focus, the depth of field, and the colour combination. Wonderful work.
Post actions
Post actions
Love the soft look to this
Post actions
I cannot get over the beautiful colors. The way the streaks of blue in her hair match the shirt is perfect, and I simply love the combination of colors you have here. Lovely lovely lovely!!! :)
Post actions
nice use of focus and muted tones
Post actions
love it. I like how you didn't focus on her eyes!
Post actions
beautiful portrait, nice lighting
Post actions
Interesting focal point, very well composed. The soft colors work very well. An excellent portrait.
Post actions
Post actions
very nice shot, i really like the dof here. well done
Post actions
An unusual and appealing sort of portrait but would prefer it soft everywhere rather than the sharply focused shoulder.
Post actions
A portrait that is also abstract. Its pretty and unusual and emotive. I like the focus on the hair.
Post actions
An emotion well conveyed.
Post actions
I love the way you've captured the strands of her hair.
Post actions
Curious perspective. The color tones/highlights are nice and work for the feel of the shot.
Post actions
Looks like the focus locked on to the shoulder, composition is good, face could be focused a little more.
Post actions
I like the colors and comp to this and how the wisps of hair fall freely. Nice shot!
Post actions
like the blue highlight in hair and shallow dof.
Post actions
One of the more interesting portraits in the challenge. I like it.
Post actions
Her left arm (?) seems to feel out of place w/ a closer crop like this. Love the mix of cooler tones.
Post actions
very nice DOF and color treatment. I'd crop a bit closer at bottom.
Post actions
focus is a soft on the eyes. It looks like the best focus is on her hair actually.
Post actions
Post actions
Sexy and subtle at the same time. I like the use of the very narrow DOF to add mood.
