I think the just off centre composition hurts this a little. It's not enough off centre to make a real difference, but it's enough to spoil the symmetry of her face. Still other than that I like it so 6 from me.
This is just a simple, natural, beautiful portrait with an awesome model who has great expression. No super processing, super lighting techniques, or super anything..which is why I love it so much. We take portraits to capture personality and that is what you have done brilliantly...
I really like this portrait, the eyes, nice skin, and the curls. I gave this an 8, the only way I could see it being improved would be to have a little more in focus. But it is great this way!
Lovely tight portrait. would love to see more detail in skin - maybe tad over exposed for my liking. Love the way the hood is out of focus emphasizing the face together with hair enclosing it
I feel obligated to compare this portrait to others I've seen on dp, and it's lacking the sharpness that may similar pictures have. I like the composition and the model is great, but it seems a tad out of focus in my opinion.
