I think this is a very good shot of "fairy tale meets adulthood" - obviously an adult, but still with a bit of whimsy from both the smile (which can be seen as whimsical and perhaps just a wee bit sly) and the softness.

Glad to see you got some comments appreciating your photo. I already sent you my thoughts. She really does make a beautiful red riding hood!

I think you should have scored better than you did because this is an excellent image but I feel, in the end, the soft focus let you down. Your model is beautiful and her face more in focus, especially her eyes, would have given the image a more dramatic look.

I think this should have scored much better than it did. It has beautiful lines and flow, Great composition and balance. Maybe a little too much softening but that's a minor issue. I liked it!

A little too softly focused for my taste.

Beautiful portrait! I love the hair and her lovely green eyes against the red. Nice lighting, too.

a pretty model - very nice face and a great glow to her - i think she would have done a great job as one of the other heroines in the Grimm stories such as Snow White, etc...

Dreamy processing is great for a fairy tale character, but I still find myself wanting more sharpness on the eyes.

Nice slightly soft focus affect. Top ten I bet.

A nice original take on the time-worn story, and her eyes are mesmerizing.

too soft IMO....nice idea though

This would be a stronger scorer if the focus was there...it's a bit blurry.

Love the interplay between the hair and the hood here!!

I love the green eyes against the reds of the lips and cape. The fly-away hair adds some extra dimension. My only thoughts are that the soft-focus, and the straight on shot makes it a bit difficult to differentiate her jaw line from her neck. But that is a minor thing...imho, as this is one of the stellar shots in the bunch.

Over processed.
10/07/2008 07:43:41 PM
too processed for my tastes
10/06/2008 10:54:13 PM
way too much noise reduction filtering.....it looks like plastic
10/06/2008 09:17:14 PM
She's very pretty, especially her green eyes but the pic has been softened too much, you've lost a fair bit of detail.
10/06/2008 08:03:58 PM
her face is to flat and that could be because its a little blurry
10/06/2008 07:31:00 PM
Love the idea / concept and you have a beautiful model for the shot. Lighting is super. It may have been your intent to be out of focus, but I think I would like it better focused. Still caught myeye though.

Either slightly OOF, or too much NI or soft blur.
10/06/2008 05:17:01 PM
Beautiful job with the make-up and lighting. Nice work.

Very nice portrait, a little away from the fairy tale look....:)

interesting take on the story. i wish there was more definition in her chin, it king of blends into her neck. good color though.
