Comment by Sammie:
Your portrait is very pretty. The soft focus is nice; however, something about the mouth doesn't look quite right - the upper lip seems to blend into the face. Also, I think a different outfit would have been better - the pose, lighting and focus is so romantic and ethereal that a soft sligtly ruffled dress would have added more to the picture than a tux like suit.

Comment by kevrobertson:
a little too soft on the focus. Or maybe it's not soft enough.
Just in the middle i think, make it look like a mistake
good luck though

beautiful innocence longing to dissapear. A bit out of focus.

This image is disturbingly Lolita-like to me. She has too much lipgloss and she appears to be wearing nothing but a neclace under the low-cut, over-sized tuxedo jacket (an odd choice of costuming, IMO). She has gorgeous Rapunzel-like hair and beautiful skin which you've captured well.

Comment by Neuferland:
I gave you a 5 on this shot and here is why.

I also love the composition of the shot, the balance of the boy and the water and the noodles are great. Here is what stood out as off to me personally though. The boy still seems to have some color to him, like he's not completely desaturated and that is distracting to me from the noodles. Also the water seems a bit dull yet bright at the same time, it's hard to explain. Maybe a polorizing filter would help with the light reflecting off the water while giving it the pop it needs for contrast. And that is also lacking, no real black or white point, not a lot of contrast in the shot. If you play with this one in PS some more I would love to see the results. It's a great shot that could really pop with a little more work.

Very nice soft focus- your model seems very fitting to this style of portrait.
