| I'm new to this place, but have become a fan of your portrait work. This is a stunning shot. My only wish would be to see a little more of her hand and wrist. The way it is cropped, her hand seems a bit dislocated from her body. It could be another person's hand pulling her veil across. Otherwise, WOW! |

| Very delicate, very detailed. The girl looks so young and fragile. Without the ring one would guess she is 11 or 12 years old, but the ring gives her age away. The desaturation of the scarf on the right is unnatural but here it works into the total image somehow, I like it. Excellent work Manny, I could learn a lot from you. |

Im a fan of your portraits but the pose didnt do much for me for some reason. The lighting, color saturation as usual are spot on, but the focus on the eyes seems a little strange. The headdress is really pretty and adds visual interest to the photograph.
Anyway, you placed really high with it. Congrats! |

| Gee, I wonder whose exquisite portrait this could be? Hmm... great expression, composition, detail, color... I just don't know. If only there were some colored pencils in there, I might have a clue. Nothing to ciriticize, so it gets the usual 10. ;-) |

| I enjoyed this very much at DIC...and it is excellent, Manny! Love the shy facade on Jooi and as you pointed out the great textures and jewelry. But if you got a 'Great Shot' comment from Lou Hartman, I know it's got to be a 10! |

Hypnotic, lovely and so coy. A capture reminiscent of the famous Librodo. Bumping up.

| Whilst the tonality and all that jazz is, no doubt, exemplary ... and whilst, were I taking someone's portrait, this kind of detailing and care of exposure would be what I'd hope for, I can't say I'm all that bothered about this shot. Great portrait - but I get nothing more from it. |

| Nice toning. Placement of eyes is a little odd, I can't tell you what will work better, but this sure isn't working for me... also eyes are dodged too much to lose details.. ..hands dont' seem to go well with her face somehow.. |

| Nicely done. I like her shy gaze and the detail of her head covering. It isn't over processed either. I like the blue to the left of her, but wish it were solid and not mottled. It kind of takes away, since the busy design on her scarf has enough detail on its own. Great eyes!! 8 |

| Great colors and textures, classic Librodo type picture. The steely eyes are just a little to sharp for me, I would have liked them a little softer, but no points off for that! This one will score well. Nice job. |

| Beautiful photo, but to be honest, I've seen this kind of photo too many times to be excited about it. It really is very well done, though. If this is the first time you've done such a photo, then I must say you've really done a great job. |

| Wonderful bold hues pictured here in this portrait photo. I love how the girl is bringing the shawl to her lips. It is a captured action of shyness at the same time she levels this intense gaze at us that holds and arrests us. Very good shot that I could very well see appearing next to a story in National Geographic. |
