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.
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 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...
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.
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.
