I think this is my favorite portrait in the entire challenge...love the processing, particularly the pink of the blooms...and that hint of green in the iris of the eye is just perfect...very nice.

Absolutely beautiful. Green eyes make the picture! Excellent use of pastel.

I like the composition of this portrait alot. I like the flowers in the corner foreground and the flower tucked behind her ear in the upper corner, with her face in between. Very nice way to keep the viewer's eye on your subject. I like the muted colors for this challenge. Nice even lighting. The highlights on the top of her nose seem blown and lack detail. I wish there was a catchlight in her shadowed eye. Even in shadows, it helps to have a little catchlight there so the eye doesn't completely go 'dead'. 7 from me.

I saw this in thumbnail and it didnt grab me. But coming across it in voting and seeing large makes a good difference. I like the overall pink tones but it is the eyes that pull it all together. Very nice. 7 for now.

This is a wonderful image. Great tone, exposure, and composition. There's a story being told here, but I'm not sure what it is - wish I knew. On the positive side it's made me think about it, which means your image is doing it's job of holding this viewers interest. ;^)

I get the impression that the girl is a granddaughter perhaps? Be my luck it's a model and no real story at all...

Well done. Good luck in the challenge.

I don't know what you did to her skin but it looks very mottled and unhealthy and there are areas in her nose, to the sides of her nostrils that are blown out. It could have been quite a nice portrait but you have to be very careful on the skin tones and textures. In this case, it ruins the shot.
