That's a very nice portrait. The severe cropping and especially the limited depth of field elevate it well above the ordinary for me. Love the title for this challenge, although there's something about your shot that conveys an unmistakable family relationship anyway. Well done. 8
Interesting B&W portraiture. Shallow depth of field with the center focus on the left eye is a great idea and makes the composition very interesting. Lighting is good with a full tonal range and it is properly exposed. Great capture of a Mona Lisa expression.
Nitpicking "meet the challenge" voters will call this is a "portrait" of an individual and NOT really "family" and vote this fine image lower because of it.
Nice b/w portrait but too shallow DOF IMHO, I am drawn towards the eye to the right and its irritatingly out of focus so this is not as good as it could have been, again IMHO. 6 from me.
She bears no resemblance to 007 - must be illegitimate duaghter of Moneypenny. hehehe. Nicely done portrait. If only this were a portrait or person or daughter challenge.
portrait = family ? Title "bond" tells me more than the photograph, so I feel it is shaky on meeting the challenge, but I really like the portrait. It captures quite a lot in the face. Nice job.
This could be a very nice portrait. Would like to see both of her eyes in focus. Perhaps a touch of gaussian blur to even out skin texture ( and no I'm not talking about messing with the freckles!) or perhaps a light layer of makeup. Otherwise this is beautiful - good lighting, wonderful composition, very nice expression. I lik ethe choice of B&W for this, but I think a color version would also have done well.
Lovely soft portrait. Love her freckles. Lovely model. Nice use of lighting and contrast. On a second look, my only complaint is that the right side of her face is slightly blurred. If it were perfectly focused, you'd have a 10 on your hands.
It's a really good portrait. Giving points for that, but I don't feel it really meets the challenge. Yes, could be your family, but in alot of ways, its just a portrait of a girl....nothing to tie it together with the family challenge.
Really lovely portrait! Lighting is soft and smooth, detail is great, DOF is perfect. But (and I know you've heard it by now) just doesn't say "family". Still a keeper for the portfolio!
one eye is in focus, the other is very out of focus. The girl is beautiful and this is a great portrait. This however, does not say family or a family bond to me. I am sorry. 5
