I think you'll get hammered for the processing in this shot- it is quite a bit overdone. That may have been the effect you were going for but I don't think it works in favor of this lovely subject- this would have been a wonderful portrait without the processing.

I think the expression on her face is quite lovely and the composition is very good. Then something went seriously wrong in the processing, which I suspect is far too much noise suppression which obliterated fine detail leaving a watercolor effect. I wonder how the original looks and would be interested in following up after the end of the challenge to compare the two.

Great pic but back-off the smoothing

Looks a bit like too much of ?filter. The smoothing is just bit too much. Her eyes are so pretty but overall this appears plastic. I love the scarf and the lighting.

Okay, I am not going to mark you down for having a political bobblehead. That is a personal choice made outside DPC. And you did use a really tack. Unfortunately, there is only one and the challenge called for TACKS. ;) Pretty good capture. Focus is not the best but the background is not overwhelming. Composition simple and stright forward. 7 frome me! good luck!
