Deep DOF, High Key, Portrait
by love

Comment by bspurgeon:
Lovely portrait, very emotive. Ignoring the challenge topic I would score this very high. This definitely does not qualify as a deep DOF. You have a wonderfully blurred background and out of focus hair.It's difficult for me to see the focal point other than the nose and lips. I also do not consider this high key as you have a reasonably broad range of tones from pure black to almost white. A high key image should produce a histogram that is shifted greatly to the right. I'm giving you a 5 because I really like the portrait, emotion, and processing. Great job. (my choice would have been: portrait, rule of third (eyes), and soft focus)

Deep depth of field? Looks like a pretty shallow DOF to me. Nice, portrait, however.

HA, Funny. Lighting a little too harsh though.

Portrait: yes , Deep DOF: no (it is rather BOKEH in the left side),
High Key:undecided (the dark area and light area are more or less equal)

Wow - what an expression! The tilt in the fence boards is a bit of a distraction.

I got it. I liked it a lot. I gave it a 7. That's reason enough. :)
Can't believe this got so many sub-5's. The model looks familiar - would I have seen him in anything?
