The blurring of Tessa's face to highlight the glasses is really clever. But, I'll bet that you're taking some flack for this score wise by the "technical junkies" in here! LOL

Out of focus, harsh lighting on her face

focus appears to be a bit too soft to me

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
Seems like a snapshot I'm afraid. The depth of field is very shallow, and the narrow range of focus does not seem to be where it needs to be. The lighting from the side is also blowing out a lot of detail on her cheek, while the rest of her face is in shadows. I don't know what your shot settings were, but I am guessing that a narrower f-stop and maybe a different direction for the lighting could have helped. Hard to know for sure without knowing details, however.

the light on her cheek is a little distracting.

I tired for a pic like this with that wonderful moon we have had but just couldn't pull the shot I wanted, you captured it wonderfully!

i gave this photo a 4 because it is unflattering. the contrast in the clouds is ok. the little yellow light distracts from the rest of the photo

I would have enjoyed this more with just the trees and sky. The artificial light from the windows in the bottom left really hurt the image in my opinion.
