Yowza ... beautiful image. Crop is perfect. It should have broken 7 for sure.

This is very good and natural and spontaneous looking and not as stiff as the others in this series. I think this speaks more about the person than the model ideal which she really doesn't pull off well in the rest of the series.

Just my two cents.

I cannot BELIEVE that this did not get at the very LEAST a 6! Well done and almost mystical ... I LOVE it. It is such a "Yellow Brick Road" fantasy kind of shot.

I think everything ... the mood the lighting the DOF the expression ... but sheesh ... that really really really hard sharpened edge under the top lip makes me cringe. It seems such a small fault with an absolutely gorgeous portrait.

Please don't get me wrong ... it is actually INCREDIBLE in all other ways ... It just looks like the bottom of her top lip was cut with scissors IMO.

... sorry ... but I thought you would like everyone's opinion ... please send me an email to tell me if you agree or disagree so I don't feel so guilty?

Edited later ...

oh ... STUPID me. I did not even think about looking at the editing rules allowed for the shot and did not notice it was Basic Editing Rules. I can see how this happened now and LOVE the shot and now realize that that lip halo would not be there on a full size image. It IS a beautiful image and something else that I just realized ... a PERFECT example of how rules should be broken in some instances and better for her looking OUT of the shot rather than in.
