Slightly too blurry.

great expression, but I feel like the blurriness of the photo detracts from its meaning.

Nice shot ... just a TAD too much soft focus, maybe ... crop out all that is right of her ear and below the fold on her shoulder for a much more dynamic shot IMO. 6

nice happy shot. It's a shame a picture frame goes through her head. As this is advanced editing perhaps you could have got rid of that. Get's a vote though :)

I don't care for the focus on the face, not terribly sharp, and the shoulder is too prominent

How abut cropping to really bring focus to that nice smile? I tried cropping a bit from the top, without the gray space above the head. What do you think?

snapshot look and far too unfocused/blurred. I know you were likely going for the "soft focus look"

Not a bad capture, going to lose some points for the weak focus (it doesn't appear to be a soft focus filter or effect).

the blurring, in my view, distracts in this photo

Over used the blur...

Out of focus, point of view not good enough
