While you have obviously put your best effort into this picture I think there is room for improvement. But first the good things :). Your (attractive) model has a great expression and the way her skin looks is pretty glamorous. I also love her casual hairstyle.

Now the bad things: the background is too light for my taste; it distracts my attention from the model. It also makes the face looks too dark. Besides this you should have used a tighter crop; there is too much space between the head and the top of the photo. Overall an average photo (5).

Beautiful portrait. Professional studio looking. The woman's face, though, appears too plastic and not natural. I'm wondering if you used a noise reducing filter to get these results. This has that "retouched" look which may, or may not, be desireable.

Nice shot. While I like neatimage's effects on skin, this comes across as perhaps too much. Also, I think this might have been better if cropped closer at the top.

What could have been a fairly dull shot has been transformed by your use of that powerful shade of blue. Your use of a small amount of shadow adds just enough dimension, but keeps the image bright and "clean". Fab!

Woa.... this has neat image written all over it. If you didn\'t neat this until it crashed your PC, I wanna know how you did this? Seriously! Shoot me a note.

Awesome potrait. Great subject. I really like the hair halfway over the right eye. She almost looks a little dirty, but she really isn't?????

I wanna see this shot with a different background, but with the white, it still marks really high. I think a diff background color other then that shirt color would work better.
