Originally posted by yanko: Definitely underrated. Seems like a few of the commenters didn't like her expression. I wonder if you edited this differently if those people would have changed their mind. For example, an edit that enhanced a more somber tone say a b/w conversion with the midtones darkened. While the colors are good I wonder if that produced mix messages with what people were seeing in her expression.

Thanks for the good after comment on my image, Richard.
I would also have preferred to process it in b/w but with it being a Colour Portrait Challenge I had to leave it the way it was. I like the image but, as you say, her expression seemed to irritate some voters. I liked the fact that the commenters said what irritated them. At least that way, I learned something out of it.
