5.0(44) just what you asked for. ;-)
64 comments means I can't add anything useful. Just a word of encouragement. Go Rikki! |

Yes, I'd like to see the real version too. This pic had so much potential. |

Alright Rikki, I believe you - you did enter the wrong version, cause I know you would not have entered this on purpose. Looks like a great picture underneath all that processing - I look forward to seeing the "correct" version. |

Hiya Rikki,
I like the pose, and this does have potential. But it just looks strange, like its over processed on the face, and the lighting is kinda on a weird angle. |

since I promised to comment and make it an even 50 for you (I see you already have 50+) here it goes...
I am sure you already know, over processed, I feel what kills the shot is the processing around the nose, watery eyes look great and love the pose !!
I am glad its not your self nude potrait :P |

This is a great composition, and could be a winning shot. There's a problem, however, in that it seems to be very low resolution, or perhaps has too much neat image applied. Hopefully, the base image is technically good and you can produce a better quality version of this compositionally and subject-wise stunning shot! I wonder if this is Rikki's entered by mistake shot? He does like to play with neatimage! (Sorry if you are not Rikki!) |

way, way, way, way toooooo much neat image. i'm sure there is a beautiful image under there, somewhere, but your post-processing has all but hidden it. |

Way to much NeatImage. All detail in the face is lost. Quite a shame, because it appears that it would have made a great shot. |

Way too much Neat Image to my taste/oversmoothed. The pixelation prevents a higher score. |

I think that the reflection in her eyes is a little distracting. The picture also has a very soft focus too it. |
|
Photographer found comment helpful. |

A lot of potential, but I feel the blur/softening is excessive and has become distracting. The light reflections in her eyes look a bit odd to me as well. Like they are layered with crumpled celophane. |

Her face looks terribly over-processed... |

This would have scored much higher in my opinion, but around the eyes and nose, the photo appears verry muddled. |

I liked the thumbnail of this photo a lot... unfortunately, the full version looks almost plastic, which is usually an indication that too much Neat Image was applied... the odd shape of the highlights in the eyes is also distracting to me. |

Lots of potential for this image. Oversharpened too much. Had it not been overdone, this would have easily been on one of the high spots. |

Think you have destroed good image with bad post processing. Dont know if you have used some kind of robust noise reduction or some blurring. Either way it dont look good imo |

I really like parts of this shot. The composition & subject matter are both really good, but the image quality is not great, I can't tell whether this is over processing of bad jpeg compression. The eyes look over sharpened and the edge of the nose is very soft and looks heavly cloned. This would be a 10 for me if it were not for those things. As is it a 6. |

Very beautiful. The hair (eyebrows and lashes included) and skin give it the feeling of a painting. Excellent composition. One of my favorites. Good Luck |

this may have been done before - :-) Sharpened within an inch of it's life, or is that just neat image? the halos on the eye brows and other dark areas are kind of a give away 5 |

Too much sharpness on the hair and eyebrows, too much glow on the eyes. It looks a bit over worked. I love how you set this up, The eyes are gorgous, the crop and the scarf are great though. |

I really like the composition. The only thing I don't like is the artifacts that can be seen from what looks like the results of sharpening and smoothing. |

The veil is nice, but the eyebrows and eyes are just a bit too overprocessed for my personal tastes. |

Too much neat image or surface blur for my liking .. otherwise a nice picture try to use DESPECKLE instead it does the same kind of thing without leaving a plastic look.. I had the same thing happen to me with a picture I thought would get around 6-6.5 .. ended up at 5.2, i never use blur any more after that.. good luck |

Fantastic shot (composition, lighting, color) ruined by over-smoothing of the subject's skin. While this type of shot has been done many times before (with good results) I think this would have scored very high had there been more natural skin and eye texture. |

Neat image strikes again. I can see that you re-sharpened eyebrows, lashes, etc, but her skin still has that plastic look. :-( |

Some very obvious artifacts in the image. I'm guessing due to neat image or something similar. |

Very nice but a bit too much spot editing around the eybrows for my taste. You seem to have lost the texture of her hair too. |

Great composition and colors. This looks seriously over-smoothed (is that a word?) with something like neatimage to me. Worth re-editing or even re-shooting if necessary and if you get the opportunity. But of course that's just my opinion. |

looks too smooth. the image loses it's integrity with the amount of editing that it looks like has been done here. I love your Idea though. the eyes are great, and the vail across the face is very classic. I would watch the lights in her eyes, it almost becomes the focal point in this picture. again though, great job overall 7 |

I could be wrong but I think you have over cooked the neat-image here, where it didn't need NT at all. If I'm wrong I do apologise but it's just the way I see it. |
