thank you Milosh! Yes it is La Jolla. The editing of this photo is really bad (I don't know what happened to my monitor when I worked on it), but you're right - the girl is beautiful (it's a daughter of my friends). Here is a better rendition of this photo

Alisa

are a couple of other shots of her done at different times
and this
...and this is her mom :)

* Greetings from the Critique Club *

First of all, let me say that this is truly a beautiful shot! Well done.

Some of my comments would include:
*I can't tell that her eyes are truly green (they look brown to me), so I would probably either change the title or adjust the color saturation.
*The lighting on her face is a little dark. I think you could increase this selectively during post-processing in whatever your application of choice may be.
*I really like the overall lighting of the shot. The hair's a bit messy, but that happens... ;-)
*You managed to catch a good expression (full of mystery) in the model's face.
*I think you made good use of the blurred background effect. Oftentimes this is overused/misused, but you used it both tastefully and in a manner that added to the overall feeling of your image.
*This may sound like an odd question, but did you happen to remove something (or some things) from the floorboard of the pier in the background? I only ask because of the periodic apparent "holes" in the silhouette of the pier's floor. It's not a big deal, but I did notice it and wonder what was up...
*Overall, a very nicely composed & executed shot. I think you could benefit from some additional postprocessing of the image, but that's really a very minor point.

Nice job & a beautiful shot to share - thank you!

Just my 2 cents...

Attractive model. Don't care for the lighting on the face.

Tough exposure challenge ... her face is a little dark ... I can't actually tell that her eyes are green. Good DoF control and composition, and subject matter certainly meets the challenge!

I wish we could see the eyes to know that they are green. Overall a nice photo and a good capture of a model. 5

I love this photo's composition, but would like it better with a bit more facial lighting - 8

Good picture. Good choice of subject matter. Composition with the pier dividing the background is distracting.

Stunning. The one image of a beautiful girl who isn't half naked, and trying to earn votes in that manner. I love this image. It's free-caring, and easy going. Not formal, yet very beautiful. Thank you for not going for the underwear look with this beautiful model. <9>

A little fill flash may have helped this substantially :)

She may have green eyes but you cannot see them. Too bad this isn't a closer shot.

Very nice portrait and subject. Hard to see green eyes though.

Its a pity that her face doesn't have more lgiht on it. I keep getting drawn to the bridge in the background.
