Comment by jpochard:
This shot has interest...makes the viewer wonder what she's looking at. It doesn't really fit my definition of "portrait", but the score is not affected by that. This seems more candid or photojournalistic in nature.

I like the contrast and colors. I can't decide if that guy in the background helps or distracts...maybe a little of both? Anyway, I like the fact that this is different, that the focus is definitely on the model and that we see some expression of interest on her face. Just one woman's opinion but I hope this is helpful.

Nose and cheeks too washed out. I don't really like a second person in a portrait unless it is a group shot.

where's her nose, a bit to overexposed to me.

i really like the contrast here. great capture...great expression. too bad about the face in the background -- it does distract some.

For me, the skin tones seem....washed out, but not bad.

Great impact, how do you get the contrast so high? Love the graininess produced around the neck, while being so clear on the rest of the pic.

Excellent use of DOF and (I'm assuming) available light. Well Done.

brilliant. one of the best of the bunch. and if the voters can't see it, then it's their loss. love the texturing on the clothing. the gaze and title work well. funny how people get caught checking up other people sometime.
