| I like the tint in the eyes and the high-key. (not voting) |

| Really interesting shot. The blow-out contrast is what makes it interesting but, I'm wondering how it is being taken by some of the "purists" who prefer less overexposure??? I'm going to watch this one post challenge to see how it does because it's really different. :) |

| The light is straight on -- one can tell by the catchlights in your eyes and the complete lack of contrast in your face. It makes for a very uninteresting portrait (not helped by your total lack of expression). Light to the side, or natural light through a large window to one side of you, would have greatly enhanced this, as would a smile, or a side glance, or an upward look taken from slightly above, or anything but such a prosaic dead-on shot. 4 |

There are somethings in portraits that just bug me, and framing a woman so she is cut off just below the breasts is one of them. It looks awkward and sets up a dichotomy between the chest and the face. Just below the collar bone works, just above the hip bone works, why? shrug, I don't know .
The wealth of detail in the dark shirt is robbing the face of the detail I would like to see. High key is a tough balancing act and I love the idea here to show off those lovely eyes, but losing all detail from chin to cheeks to forehead, is too high a price. |

| I like high key shots like this. The only problem I have here is the eye makeup. My attention is drawn to the eye right away, which is good. The eye make up is lighter toward the bridge of the nose and the high key aspect makes it difficult to determine the border of the eye. This makes the eyes appear to move in toward the nose and appear cross-eyed. A little burning in that area or a little more make up in that one spot would improve this image for me. |

Not a fan of the selective desaturation. For it to be effective the area you leave in color needs to be fairly significant. In this case, the effective is unsettling rather than appealing I am afraid.
I'm also not sure what you did for processing on your face but there is no shadows at all and it makes your face look quite flat and two dimensional. |

| In an endeavor to be more active in voting I'm attempting to comment more and more. I really dislike the selective color, even if it is nicely done. I do like the over exposure on your hair and your dark shirt balances things out... I just don't like the one-color thing. Just out of curiosity though, is that your real eye color? |
