I was going to complain about the missed focus/oversoftening, yet her expression kind of supports the choice. I'm thinking this is pretty decent right the way it is.......7
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: An interesting close composition which is characterised by some pretty heavy processing - the expression is excellent, very compelling.
Critical stuff: There seems to be target banding in the top right of the image - an 8bit rather than 16bit edit? The processing - it does work but I think it is a tad overdone, the whites of the eyes are a bit stark and the image conveys an impression of detail loss.
Overall: A worthy capture of a great expression but I'm not sure that your editing choices work for me.
