hi magen ...
i have developed a bit of a negative feeling regarding voters ... i either think that our site has been invaded by aliens or that some ppl give really low scores just coz they're having a bad day ... wotever ... it can be a bit of a downer sometimes, but then i remind myself that i'm here to learn and thats the important thing .. but like ivan/valdo says .. i dont understand the 2's, 3's and 4's either ... dont worry tho, ppl who get blue ribbons get the odd 1, 2 or 3 ... :)

Hey Magen, it is indeed a very nice portrait. Tones are great and your eyes are quite sharp. Funny that your nose and sorrounding area look soft. Prolly you have a "bewitched-like" tick ;) that you haven't noticed LOL

I really don't understand the 3s and so many 4s I guess people with bad scores tend to give even worse scores ;) keep up the good eye for photography.

Really like the dark mood of this one. It gives the photo more power, given the plight of this person.
