It's ok. When you lose eye contact then it becomes less personal. I find myself roaming around this image looking for a place to settle. The upper part of this is well focused (hairline, scarf, eyebrows) but fades away at the bottom. Without having her eyes as a focal point the mouth becomes more important, and that's falling outside the focal plane. Did you consider a severe crop removing the top third or so? I scrolled down to see what it felt like without the upper left creamy washout...kind of liked it. Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud. Good luck in the challenge.

This is nice. Subtle (low key makeup) yet effective.

Cooling off

With the way she appears to be plastic and the clothing more emphasized (sharp), it seems strange. Her face and hair are so soft and smoothed out (lost detail) that she seems OOF in comparison to the clothing and water.

Glamorous Smile

Comment:
Yes, a very pretty smile. The starburst pattern in the background is interesting. I can't help but wonder how this would have done more dressed up (using this bg) instead of jeans and a wooden chair, using slacks or tights and a chrome chair. Just thinking out loud. Anyway, good luck.

Not sure if this is more like yoga or sexually provocative? I do know that it seems to be more about the human form than the individual. Maybe I'm missing something...is this pose supposed to be glamourous?

Prom Night - A Teen Glamour Rite of Passage

This is fun. Kinda snapshottish, but still a happy photo. I like the B/W conversion. Seems a tad oversharpened.

Hey There Delilah.

The setup has potential but there's a handful of things really holding this back IMO. The metal pole on the left...move right if possible to eliminate it. Her hand lost some fingers behind that pole. Her feet...you chopped them off. Same with the top of her head. Need a healthy shot of contrast to bring out the color & textures. The natural light coming from the right is causing some reflections on the handrail and brick wall. A polarizer would knock that right out for you. Just some observations. Good luck.

Yah! I was getting worried after the last handful of images I voted on. This is a nice glamour type shot. Good use of props, etc... Only thing I'm wishing was stronger is the focus on her eyes. Seems like the focal point missed a tad. Good luck in the challenge.

Sigh...yep, it's a statue. With tinsel & foil on it.
