Love the lighting and how the grain shows up in the wood. I like the angle at which this picture was taken. The sky makes for a nice background.

Very nice portrait.
I love the backlighting that shines through her hair. In my opinion the lighting here is really good. No distracting hot spots or dark shadows and it's really pretty even throughout the photo.
I like the diffent angle you chose for this, and I think that the cropping is well done too. I like the diagonals.
The only thing that I keep coming back to that I might like to see differently is the positioning of the eyes. They seem to be looking just a bit too far to the right (her left). I wouldn't want to see them looking straight at the camera, but maybe just a bit more toward the camera would seem more natural. Maybe natural isn't the best word, but I hope you get my point.
I love the selective coloring. Really draws the attention to the necklace. I think you did a really nice job with that and for me, that's what really makes the photo stand out.
I'm debating weather or not this would make an effective ad. While it is a really good portrait, I'm not sure if it would make me want to rush right out and buy this necklace. Where would the text go?
Focus and clarity are really good, and overall the image has high visual appeal to me and I would rate this well.

I didn't even really notice and wasn't distracted by the leaves. I love the picture (brings back feelings of nostalgia from a better time) and gave you an 8 on it.

Actually, it is not so much the blurrinesss of the leaves as it is that without them, the eye does not stray to the right. Even if they had been in focus they would have drawn attention away from the subject.

This is a beautiful photo. Not sure how it fits the challenge. The tree's are fantastic. The lighting looks perfect to me.

Very nicely done. ONly real complaint is the OOF leaves on the right side of the frame. Great tonality! Gives it a warm fuzzy feeling.

Very nice. I like all of the deep warm autumn tones, yet it's not sepia. Well done.
