Its a lovely shot, but not really a portrait. I'm going to vote it for the great shot it is tho :)

Wow. She doesn't actually look that upset, but the shot is so wonderfully shot and lit it doesn't matter.

Beautiful Bokeh

Beautiful girl, but the Bokeh is actually a bit distrarcting, and there isn't really enough of it.

A very painterly effect, lovely shot, hope you're going to make this one available on DCPrints! :)

Bougainvillea Bokeh

Comment:
Very nice background, but there isnt quite enough of the foreground plant in sharp focus to really justify it being in the shot at all. With the leaves extending a reasonable distance back into the shot, and fact that the leaves are pointing in a lot of different directions makes it hard to get a lot of the green in focus, while still maintaining the background blur, so what I would have done if possible, is isolate a smaller amount of the grean foreground leaves, perhaps by zooming (preferably) or moving closer. That way the sharp field of depth you do have would be put to better use, and more of the foreground would be in focus. Still a lovely shot, well done :)

very nice idea composition-wise, but the foreground items aren't sharp enough to quite carry it off.

but what a flower ... the background isn't interesting enough or blurred enough for my tastes, but that is one exceptional flower

gorgeous woman, great capture of the face, but the pose is very strange and uncomfortable looking
