like the use of 1/3's and the pose, but I am not crazy about the focus

This is an absolutely wonderful B/W photo. I love the fact it is not the typical beautiful woman with flawless skin and it is not a really weathered face. You are somewhere in between which is a pleasant change. The composition is very nice and I like how the hair frames your face. You do look shy so the title is perfect. The focus on the one eye is a nice crisp focus. Probably should have the other eye/face in focus too but it is not distracting and does not take away from the photo. As for the lighting WOW! It really makes your hair stand out from the black background. Great job and I hope you do well.

dof is too shallow for my liking the soft/out of focus area of her makes one eye too strongly in focus. if it was a blur you applyed to the photo an all over soft look would have appealed to me more. well done on the lighting and a good portrait.7

Congratulations on your 11th place. I didn't get a chance to vote but I would have scored it high if I did. I love the blue fiber-optic light. Good idea to put them in a arch and then rotate the photo later. Gave it a great effect.

Ilove the post processing you did hear. Feels ethereal. If I have that spelled right. Good use of thirds.
