Very nice, gave it an 8.
Lovely lighting, although i think a little less lighting on her back may emphasise her more.

Really great shot, i'd be tempted to buy a print of this and hand it somewhere. Has an instant classic feel to it. Incredible control of the exposure.

I don't want to go through your whole portfolio, blabbing stupidly about each one, but they are shockingly good.
I like this one even more than the other i commented on. It is perfectly composed in my opinion. Her gaze leads away from the center, yet the whisps of hair keep your attention around her stunning eyes, to where all the interest is. The exposure is balanced just right to achieve the pure whites of her eyes without blowing anything else out, nor lose any detail. The 'bokeh' background again is not boring, but does not detract from the subject.
The ONLY thing i would make a negative comment on is how her shirt has come out at the bottom left, it seems to have washed into a grey nothing, other than that minute detail i find this an astoundingly good shot.
Thanks for sharing.

Really love this.
I actually like the fact that you've cut the top of the trees off, normally a 'no-no' in these type of shot, but here it gives it abit more interest.
I think the toning here is perfect, well done.

Absolutely stopped me in my tracks, doesn't look like much special from the thumbnail bit it's near perfect when you see it larger.
The pose, the gentle lighting, the softness on everything but the eyes, the exposure it's all so subtle and so brilliant.
A new favourite for me.

Despite my predictions from the thumbnail i actually like this.
I'm not sure about the perspective, the true growing into frame straight from the left. But i love the gradient at the bottom to dra my eye in.
It works well, as does the unusual colour cast.

Nice one. A nice change that isn't straight forward.

I agree with Imagineer here, this is a really excellent photo and very well inspired by the challenge.
