Interesting ... the landscape format bothered me for a moment (vs portrait mode for a portrait), but the inclusion of more background does make it fit this particular challenge better. I wonder if perhaps a square crop (removed mostly from the right?) would feel better-balanced ...

I like the lighting, color, focus, expression, catchlights -- I'm not bothered by the small blown-out (on my monitor anyway) spot on the shoulder, but I predict at least a few people will be. Well done.

Very pretty lady and a nice portrait. I don't like the blue thingy (car?) to the left of her head.

Picture is too run of the mill for this forum, but a nice-looking woman!

Nice cadid shot. Good background Bokeh. Nice sunlight on the hair. The upper left corner is perhaps a little too empty compared to the rest of the framing.

Nice use of natural lighting (at least it looks natural).

Nice portrait. I guess dappled light is difficult to shoot portraits in. Very nice details of her face. The smile wrinkles are clearly visible, making the model look interesting and so natural. She looks like a lovely lady. I would only ask her to move the hair on her right a bit behind, as she's got unpleasant shadow around her eye (I know - it's a dapple ;)). The big blue spot on her right is driving my attention from her shining eyes.

Uuups... the shadow around the left eye makes a feeling there has happened some accident. Cropped well but the background is a bit too messy for me.

Great bokeh background, but think the subject is too centrally composed.

I think this would have been even better if the BG was uniform.
