I love this girls expression and the emotion of this photo, but it is too soft for me. I am going to have to play around with shooting from the hip to see if I can come close to capturing the emotion you have here.
I want to see it with the noise! The shot is great but I'm not sure you processed it the best way. Maybe you did, though. I want to see alternatives! :)
I like the dreamy look you captured/created here. Creates a very interesting mood, and like Catherine pointed out, makes you want to know the story behind this.
very beautiful tones and I understand the softness, but maybe would prefer more details beacuse I think she had a wonderful expression there, it woudl be great to see it clearly. beautiful and thought-provoking photo Greetmir! maybe the basic editing rules were not good enought for it, I understand that you wanted to remove the noise. I wonder though how it would look like with the noise?
A bit too soft for my liking, I can't focus on anything because my eyes feel strange. Maybe I just have strange eyes! A lovely pose and great mood though.
meets challenge, softness corresponds with the title (or other way round), some distracting grainy spots in the face, halo close to the border distracts, too
