Nice model shot. Not too keen on the blurring in the lower half, which looks like it was added in processing to me (either that or it was taken with a lensbaby), but the face is very well done and it's a nice change to see an expression that isn't a forced smile.
Although perhaps not the most technically sound portrait of the challenge there is a indescribably beauty to both the photograph and the model. I like the vignette and dof is perfect. I had given this a 9 at first glance and I'm guessing the only thing that I initially voted down on was the bright spot behind her and the somewhat strange gray tones of her hair on that side (maybe light spill), but after more studying, I just can justify dropping this below 10.
This is beautiful! The hair, the focus on the eyes, everything is perfect. Hopefully you post a colour version afterwards just to show us how it looks.
This woman's eyes really draw you in. They are the main focal point of the image in my opinion. You could easily lose the bottom 20-25% of the image and make some improvement.
Nice B&W portrait. I think a little tighter crop would have been nice. This is just my opinion but I think the face tells the story and the arm area kind of takes away from it.
very nice B&W portrait. love the oof background soft hair and body going down/angle but I really would like a bit more depth in the face. Eyes are sharp but more needs to be.
