this is a beautiful image. very captivating, especially because of the intensity in her expression. i like that she doesnt have lipstick it wouldve taken away from the eyes. good use of the soft feel..good job!

THE LOOK

Hi from the Critique Club!

A really nice portrait and a lovely model.

The eyes dominate the image as they should and the eye is immediately drawn and held there. They give the impression of a warm and froendly person, who is relaxed and at ease with herself.

The model has lovely features but I feel that with a combination of high key and neat image(?) you have needlessly perhaps 'plasticised' her. I'm waiting for neat image to be made into a face cream, but until then, I'd like to see models with their 'warts and all':) But then again it is a matter of personal taste.

This is certainly high key, and had you made it even more high key you may have achieved more high contrast. You might have lost the soft quality though, so it's a balancing act.

The halter neck strap at the back of her neck is a little distracting.

A really nice portrait and a good score.

For me, I don't get a sense of "dramatic effect" as described in the challenge. Cool looking guitar though.

This to me is a WOW picture. Great soft tones and lighting.

Comment by Louison:
Very nice composition. The gaussian blur effect is a little too strong imho.

Comment by thomaspeople:
Very pretty, but the focus is a little too soft. Looks like maybe too much work on the cheeks and nose in post-process because the eyes are very sharp. Perhaps this is intentional to make us see them (as the title suggests) but I think it's too much.This model is clearly pretty enough to hold our attention to her eyes without the contrast in focus.

Comment by art-inept:
maybe cropped a bit too tight on the lip, it seems like it's almost touching the frame. soft focus works well and gives it that dreamy feel. i also like the tones on the hair.
