 The Image: This is Abegail from our church. She is awesome! We were doing a photoshoot at Melbourne Uni with 9 great models from church for our Women's Conference next year. Each was dressed for a different decade and Abegail was dressed for the 60's. She photographed so well!

The Edit: Basic stuff really. Cloned out a minor scar on her nose.

POST: I am so mad at myself for not changing the title to PORTRAIT when I finally chose this shot. I had a soft focus one and removed it but didn't change my title.

I really think it would have done at least 0.5 better maybe more had I had the right title. I LOVE this image.

The Prediction: 6.489?

Nice shot. Maybe a little tight on the crop I think. Very pretty model too.

I'm sure you're hearing plenty of this but the eyes are pretty sharp (extremely) sharp kinda killing the soft focus, claim. I'm not sure if you are latching the soft focus onto the shallow dof but if so it's redundant.

Exceptionally sharp for a soft focus :p But it's a good portrait though

Lovely photo but doesn't really look like soft focus to me, it's quite sharp in fact.

Love the crop, the titled angle works perfectly here.

DOF is shallow, but point of focus is spot on! Very natural expression of the model. Welldone!
