The eyes man - the eyes. Great job.

Nice model shot. Not too keen on the blurring in the lower half, which looks like it was added in processing to me (either that or it was taken with a lensbaby), but the face is very well done and it's a nice change to see an expression that isn't a forced smile.

A most appealing angle and perspective. A lovely model, too.....6

Although perhaps not the most technically sound portrait of the challenge there is a indescribably beauty to both the photograph and the model. I like the vignette and dof is perfect. I had given this a 9 at first glance and I'm guessing the only thing that I initially voted down on was the bright spot behind her and the somewhat strange gray tones of her hair on that side (maybe light spill), but after more studying, I just can justify dropping this below 10.

I like the way you composed this with the shoulder forward and slightly out of focus. She has lovely eyes which you show here beautifully!

Nice portrait and dof setting. Perfect accent - in the pupils outer ring - making her soft eyes pop with beauty.

This is beautiful! The hair, the focus on the eyes, everything is perfect. Hopefully you post a colour version afterwards just to show us how it looks.

This woman's eyes really draw you in. They are the main focal point of the image in my opinion. You could easily lose the bottom 20-25% of the image and make some improvement.

Nice B&W portrait. I think a little tighter crop would have been nice. This is just my opinion but I think the face tells the story and the arm area kind of takes away from it.

very nice B&W portrait. love the oof background soft hair and body going down/angle but I really would like a bit more depth in the face. Eyes are sharp but more needs to be.

very engaging...well done...I prefer the portraits that have the person "looking right at you" than those that are off...

Nice shallow DOF, and a very nice look on her face.

Good DOF, B&W works well. Maybe a bit too soft?

I really like the light and thoses eyes are excellent. I personally would have liked it to be more of head shot and not have as much of her torso.
