I feel this is lacking contrast and the flash seesm to have given the eyes a green glow.

Just not sharp enough... and I'd like to see her nose.

love the camo aspect but wish the flash weren't reflected in eyes. Good try.

I see you used Photoshop Elements to do the Post-Processing on this and offer a couple things that would have really helped this. To correct some of the washed-out look and general lack of contrast, a simple Auto-Level adjustment could have been done, then edit, fade auto-level adjustment to about 75%. Another thing that is hurting this is the image compression, causing a lot of compression artifacts / blotchy sections. When saving the image for a challenge, use the Save for Web method and use the full 150Kb available for the challenges. That method will remove all the non-image data from the file and bring the quality way up.

Strange "alien" eyes going on here.

Good capture but it looks like the contrast is off a bit.

Very noisy, very pixelated. Your flash caused his eyes to glow and there appears to be a fair amount of CA, mostly purple fringing from what I see...1

this doesn't feel very much like a portrait
