This is a lovely portrait. I particularly like the soft pink on the lips contrasting with the bold brown of the eyes. I do think you softened too much here giving the model an unnatural look, particularly around the inside of the left eye and places where the hair touches the face. The high score was well deserved despite my minor nits.
I agree with some of the comments regarding perhaps too much softness but the flip is that it really does allow the eyes to stand out! I don't get how anyone can rate this a 1 or 2? (or even a 3 or 4 for that matter)
this is a beautiful image. very captivating, especially because of the intensity in her expression. i like that she doesnt have lipstick it wouldve taken away from the eyes. good use of the soft feel..good job!
Very pretty, but the focus is a little too soft. Looks like maybe too much work on the cheeks and nose in post-process because the eyes are very sharp. Perhaps this is intentional to make us see them (as the title suggests) but I think it's too much.This model is clearly pretty enough to hold our attention to her eyes without the contrast in focus.
maybe cropped a bit too tight on the lip, it seems like it's almost touching the frame. soft focus works well and gives it that dreamy feel. i also like the tones on the hair.
I like the soft effect on her face. One thing I would point out is that my eyes are drawn to her lips more than her eyes which you want the subject ( from your title ) so your title doesn't really go with the picture.
Still a very good entry and ranks well in my books
I think you were going for an artistic interpretation of a very lovely image with the added softness. I think it works very well for this subject because of the way the hair frames the face and the colours that you've chosen to use... Very well done... :)
Incredible eyes, and lushess lips. Beautiful model, and you've captured some beautiful colors in this portrait. The range of colors and the fine composition will carry this image far. Wow, what eyes! <9>
Very pretty. I feel that it's a tad too soft for my taste. The skin and hair appears slightly flat. I think some light on her face might help it a touch. Her coloration is lovely and the hair against the skin is quite appealing. Here eyes are gorgeous.
Although a very very nice picture; i think it would have looked a lot better if the softness wasn't so profound. The hair could've been a little more sharp against the skin. Other than that it is a beatiful picture.
Great model and pose. Too much neat image or softeneing on side of nose. The depth and definition between her nose and her face has been lost due to over smoothing. Great shot, just back off the smoothing just a little.
