Well I gave you my opinion during the challenge but would add that I think this was 'robbed' by the voters...check out the posthumous ribbon thread....I loved this shot
I am not normally a big fan of portraits in FS, but I have to say this works because it really engages the viewer (we are not looking at a model posing in a brightly lit studio) Love the muted colours the composition and the smile of the subject (which transcends simply looking at a camera and is instead looking at a person) 8 from me Lovely
great photo but too small, you will get a best scores making sure you use the total 640 pixel and 15o kb siz limits. Yours is 500 pixel an 94 kb. Here is a little PS tutorial to get your images ready for challenges :)
This is probably just me, but I generally associate cold tones and colors with colder expressions. A beautiful sunny smile like this needs a warmer tone to evoke a warmer feeling? Still, a great shot - I'm sure she's pleased. Good luck in the challenge.
she is beautiful, but you need to save your images at 640 pixels in order for them to be judged better...she has a beautiful face and I LOVE the freckles...the eye contact is fantastic as well...7
