Really nice. Her coloring and beautiful eyes are a stand out. Nice DOF as well!!

very nicely composed. great expression.
01/18/2005 12:07:27 PM
Beautiful. The lights are anything but distracting: they're enhancing. But I think her eyes sparkle even more. Again, really nice.

You were robbed on this one. I had it earmarked as a ribbon winner for sure. Go figure. The camera just loves this model...excellent image.

Beautiful shot, good capture of the girl. I like the composition and the dynamics and the softness. The bokeh on the lights does grab a little of it's own attention, but it sets the context for this scene well.

Superb lighting!

nice well done !

Very nice portrait. The lighting on the face is very good. I think it would look even better with a little cropped off the right side. I like the angles and the pose.

Beautiful but the bokeh could be better, light a little distracting.7

Great shot of a strikingly pretty girl, but is the blurry background really bokeh, or is it just blurry? 6.
Oh, maybe it is after all; 7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very pretty eyes, good bokeh if I even know what that is, I like the angle, colors, and lighting - but I think the girl is a bit too centered. I'd be tempeted to crop of some of the right side where the background is dark.

This is a great photograph of a beautiful girl, nice job!

well done portrait. good luck
seems a tad soft on the eyes.

looks like a famous barr or cover girl ad! Incredible photography here, and beautiful subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/12/2005 04:51:59 AM
I really like this shot! The highlights in the eyes are a little distracting IMHO and I feel there is to much negative space on the right hand side. I know you wanted to get here hair in but if her hair went down straighter that area could have been cropped harder.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2005 09:11:37 PM
Love this portrait. It looks so natural, like a moment caught in passing, freezing in time a fragment of priceless memory. Your model is beautiful, the tilt feels "right" and the background is fuzzily indistinct and just.... perfect. A winner in my opinion.

Nice eyes, and the shirt and background bokeh further enhance them. Nice job on the skin tones and subtle burning. 9

A very nice portrait. The background highlights lead the your eye to her eyes. The bright upper left corner of the image is a bit distracting. An 8 from me.

Nicely done, good luck.

Nice, she looks very Irish.

Beautiful shot. The background color really enhances her lovely eyes. The angle is great.

Beautiful image. And the girl is awesome too!

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Present. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Somewhat. Incredibly pretty girl, her eyes are amazing. The car headlights are a tad distracting, but the quality of the rest of the out of focus area is nice. This looks like it should be a shampoo ad or something!

Great portrait, good bokeh. I like the angle too. What a striking young lady!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2005 03:08:05 PM
I love the soft lighting, and the girl is of course lovely, but I think the background actually distracts from the appeal of the image. Contrast is just too high, especially with regard to the headlights.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2005 02:58:25 PM
wow high contrast red on greens, beautifull model, greak brokeh (if I knew for sure what it was), rich juicy colors, great skin tone. Only minor complaint I can manage to find is that I don't like the color of the shirt. But if thats the biggest complaint I can muster, I wouldn't worry. Keep up the wonder work. 10

Great angle on this one
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2005 01:55:52 PM
Nice job! Definately one of the better entries. You understand the concept and you've captured a redhead. Thats worth an extra point in my opinion! She is cute! Daughter? Girlfriend? Wife? Friend? Tell her you know another great photographer she should meet. :))

beautiful eyes, beautiful girl, beautiful shot, beautiful bokeh
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2005 11:50:59 AM
Beautiful!! Beautiful model, beautiful eyes, beautiful colors! The green in the background really accentuates her eyes and sets off her hair. I predict this will be way up there. :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Absolutely stunning - the clarity of your subject and the fantastic use of contrast and color. Beautifully soft shadowing also. You must live somewhere where it's actually warm!

Beautiful picture, the only but about the picture is the distraction of the cars
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2005 03:26:23 AM
One of the best I've seen this chalenge. Not the best bokeh, but overall the best image. Would have given it a ten but the eyes look a bit too green. Real or not.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2005 03:22:50 AM
amazing portrait!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/10/2005 02:34:16 AM
The only "people shot" in the challenge that shows true bokeh, IMO. Nice work. The eyes are marvelous.
