One of the few shots to use the technique of centering the subjects eyes in the frame! Nearly flawless lighting. Wonderfully subtle soft focus. Only thing I think detracts slightly is the pose. I keep expecting to see her gnawing on her finger nails. Nice shot overall though!

Lighting: The lighting is excellent
Pose: I like the pose, but the nail-biter curl of the fingers does not seem to fit with the rest of the image. I am assuming the shallow DOF was intentional on her shoulders, but I found the back of her hair being OOF to be a bit distracting.
Background: Well done, with wonderful seperation.

Wondefully playful image. Great lighting, the glasses slightly slid down the nose adds a hint of playfulness. I like it, the over all shot is great, her hands look a little awkward,( the way she has them positioned does not look natural.) Other than that this is a great shot. Good tones and wonderful background selection. 7

Great shot but a snail is a snail.

Comment by Olyuzi:
Lighting and skin tones are excellent. I think DOF is slightily too narrow and I don't particularly like her pose...too confrontative and seems to be showing off her rings.

This is great. I gave it a nine, because everything is well executed (lighting, makeup, focus on eyes, etc.) It would have been a 10 if she wasn't looking straight at the camera.

One last thing: those glasses are a great touch, and drive home your title, and the hairdo perfectly sopports it.

Seems to be cropped almost too tightly. Nice shot though. 6

Would have liked more colorsaturation and maybe contrast but very nice image though.
