Critique Club Review:

Color, saturation and hue are good. Focus is good, depth of field is just a little bit shallow. Her face is nice and sharp, but the fingers of her hand start to go soft at the base.

I would recommend getting rid of the clutter on the left side of the frame.

Your crop is a little awkward for my tastes. You've cut off her ear and the top of her head. If you wanted to show her face, it would be better to include the whole head. If you wanted to show the detail in her eyes, then coming in a bit closer and cropping tighter would help do the trick. (Currently the detail is a bit small, unless you know what you are looking at.)

I like this picture, but at the same time I think a tighter shot emphasizing those beautiful eyes, would be killer.

IMHO this image is not soft at all. It is nicely composed and I like the blur of the lights from the cars but dont feel this fits the challenge

where's the soft focus? I see motion blur but everything else looks sharp as a tack ...

Nice shot! The bright lights are a bit too much for my taste though. I feel this has taken away from the soft effect of what could have been an even better photo with soft focus.
