WOW, this is wonderful and a vast improvement over the original. I love the depth of field and the catchlights in her eyes. The composition is fabulous, too. EXCELLENT!!
Camera Work/Technical: The eyes are beautiful and crisp, but the rest of the image is a bit too soft. I do like images with the angelic blur, but I think that this one is a bit overdone. I am not sure if it was the post-processing or the extremely shallow depth of field, but there is a bit too much of it. It looks like a neat image layer with a mask over the eyes and mouth.
Lighting: Your lighting is pretty nice. Almost everything is nicely exposed with all elements evenly lit. I would like to see that hair lit a little more. Just a little detail was lost there.
Composition/Content: I do prefer this offset composition to the original, more centered composition. You captured a very nice expression that she will love for years.
My Opinion: The coloring and post-processing were better in the original. The composition and lighting in this one was much better. A combination of the two would have probably pushed the top 10.
Fantastic image of Tamara Peter! This definitely is a DEFINITE improvment from your last photo of Tamara! The eyes, the DOF used are terrific! She would be proud. From your shot two years ago, yes my friend, you've come a long way ;) Great job Peter!
She's grown up a bit in the last couple of years and you've improved your skills as well. ;-) If my research is correct, this is Philos31. And talk about an improvement! To be honest, I thought this was Manny's (I hope you take that as a compliment). Outstanding. The reflection in her eyes makes this portrait sing. 9
