I really like how the orange pops out from the blues of the rest of the picture, i really think there could be less blurring here though because some spots that are blurred look like they should be clear and some that are clear look like they should be blurred. Otherwise, your post processing here was excellent, lovely shot

First, I love the innocence of this picture. The eyes say it all. Thanks for including the steps you followed to do this pic. I have been wanting to learn how to make the outer edges darker like this. Just a gorgeous shot!

I have no idea what you did when you processed this (lots of terms there I don't know), but I love the shot. It is really strongly focused on the face and the orange, so much more so than the original (which already was, if that makes sense). Excellent image.

The blur really adds to the emphasis of the face. Also, I love the orange! It add some nice color contrast to the blue.

Beautuful shot. My only suggestion is that blurring the lower hand seems unnatural and therefore draws my attention unneccessarily. Love the lighting on the face and the blur on the rest of the shot.

I haven't checked out the black and white yet, but gotta say I'm quite likin' the color version. I may be requesting remedial help later on radial gradient masks...
