I gave this a 6 at the time. i think my reasoning on that is the flowers that are out of focus are a little distracting. i think i would have liked it if the POV was lower and the DOF was bigger. (does that even make sense???) i guess being lower and haveing the flowers also in focus may have a positive impact imo.
I gave this one a 9. I loved the colors and her expression. I must confess that I probably wouldn't have scored the outtakes so high. But of the outtakes, I like the spider web better.
Glad to see you entered this one. Very nice portrait of a pretty woman. As often as I have seen her now, I am assuming this is your wife? (No vote, comment only)
