personally, i would have cropped it just above the eyebrow on the right and just below the lip, and i would have either toned it bw or duotone. it's a nice shot, but you should know by now what scores in a freestudy and what doesn't ;-) there's just nothing there that leaps up and makes you smack your head saying, damn, i wish i had shot that--which is what you have to do if you want to score... |

Captivating image. The focus is very nice on the eyes. Good contrast and comp, slightly overexposed. The color cast being off hurt this with the scoring I'm sure. |

I have absoutely no idea why there could be anything considered wrong with this shot. I like it......really! It's sharp, she's got a cute expression, GREAT eyes, detailed NICELY!!! I like the DOF and the crop, too. |

the skin color seems off, doesn't seem natural. and the shallow DOF, which normally would work well, only emphasizes this strange color and makes it seem almost like a glow. Something as simple as a photo filter could probably do wonders for this image. |

I gave this a 6 in voting. The orange cast bothered me and there seemed to be some odd texture as the focus drops off. Pleasing comp, nice gaze and nice smile. Not a DPC WOW image but not a stinker either. |

Much like my shot, the score you got baffles me too. Technically I think this shot is spot on, although I am bothered by the overall orange look to the image. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but for me it's not working. However, that in now way leads me to believe that the low 5.2 score is justified. I also think a slight vignette would have really helped to draw the viewers eyes more to the subjects face. But here eyes do that so well anyways so perhaps I'm wrong on that one. ;-)

Nice sharp focus on the eyes. I don't mind the warmness of the photos, but I generally like warm photos. I don't mind the crop nor do I mind the pose, but I am curious if the crop and the pose don't work that well in this instance? I'm not very good at portraits though, so your mileage may vary. I still think it is a good shot nonetheless.
Hope you are enjoying your news lens! |

Beautiful eyes and great focus on them. But I think that the crop is a little too tight, an other point might be the color, overall, it looks a bit too redish. |

I think this photo is very well executed, but unfortunately it's a little bit too red. But it deserves a very good appreciation. |

Good - the eyes are sharp but it's slightly overexposed. |
