I like the grain. I also think you did a great job editing it. I can't explain why it didn't score better; I don't understand voters...

Good sharp eye! The noise elsewhere is distracting to me...
Post actions
Really nice, I've just come to bump this to a 7. It would be higher if it weren't for the strange noise on the out of focus areas and some strange marks on the white areas by the cheek on the left. The crop, focus, exposure, toning and expression are all really good.

I like the exposure on this, her eye really pops.
Post actions
Very unusual portraiture. Interesting! 7

Great attention to detail. I like black and white to draw us in.
Post actions
could use a little more focus maybe.

Go Midwest USA! It looks great in dpchallenge!

Nice side-angle portrait shot with focus really drawing me to her left eye.
Post actions
Nice DOF, good processing
Post actions
I like what you've done with her eye, but I wish her eyebrow was less sharp, like the other one. It just looks a wee bit odd to me. Otherwise I think this is really neat.

Well captured and presented.

Nice sharp detail and good use of DOF.

Lovely high key portrait. She has beautiful eyes. 7
Post actions
Nice DOF that really separates the left side of the face from the right.
Post actions
the high key is good, focal point stands out, but I think a little more information in the image would have helped, lacks definition in areas but there's so much in other, the balance feels off to me jmo
Post actions
Nice job. I love these type of shots.
Post actions
I like her gaze and her eye, nice high key photo.
Post actions
Great DOF like the detail in the eye
Post actions
Beautiful portrait. I love the catch lights in the sharp eye
Post actions
I like this despite the grain
Post actions
Though the hair, eye and eyebrow in the foreground are incredible, the dof is just too shallow and makes the subject look very odd. Perhaps there is also a little "fisheye-ing".
Post actions
Nice portrait with strong contrasts. I like the narrow DoF.
Post actions
I would like to have seen some detail in the lower face.
Post actions
she is very pretty. I love the angle she turned her head, its more interesting than straight-on. Great portrait.
Post actions
at least your brows are tweezed...clear focus...interesting DOF
Post actions
Great depth of field use.
Post actions
Just the eye being in focus gives it an odd look- the eye really looks big. was that what you were after?
Post actions
I like the high key treatment, and you have really good focus on her eye.
Post actions
love the catch lights in her eyes ... great job on the b/w conversion ... 8

Nice portrait, however using a lens at its lower focal distance and being that close to your subject, distortion will occur. I'm not sure if this was your purpose, but I prefer taking a distance from the subject and zooming in to maintain a more natural look.
Post actions
great lighting and DOF, I really like the post processing on this
Post actions
unique potrait IMO, I like it though, 7
Post actions
nice pose and great focus on her eye
Post actions
this is a lovely simple portait 10
Post actions
Fun shot. DOF is good for the expression.
Post actions
The combination of the high key treatment and the shallow DOF makes her ey into a magnet that sucks my gaze to it. Perhaps pimped a tad heavy, but it connects well.
Post actions
Nice detail on the eye. Great in black and white and a different perspective is nice to see.
Post actions
got to love those f1.2 lens

Beautiful capture of the personality thru the eyes, some aspects look a little blown though......
Post actions
Love it. Great high contrast. Perfect focus on the eyes - and a nice dof that softens the lips and shirt...I even like the grain.
Post actions
Like your point of focus on just her eye. Some say the eye is a window to our soul. It's interesting because I tend too see that here. Really nice image.

I found the eye and eyebrow to be overdone. The hair on her forehead is just right IMHO.

She glanced and tilted her head and gave him that grin that told him one thing, and one thing only.
