Nice, natural expression. Like it. Like the soft background, too.

The railing seems to be the sharpest part of the image, and the DOF is so shallow that the woman is rather blurry.

The border is a little bit overpowering

i really like this composition a lot as well as the general lighting and nice DOF ... however woman's face seems slightly out of focus and under exposed

the face is very dark, perhaps some fill flash would help this photo very much.

perhaps a little soft on the model.

Colour balance is way too purple, and shot has been underexposed. Face isn't sharp. Composition is unbalanced. Lovely background though. Border is overdone for a simple snapshot.

I think, had this shot been taken from the other side, that you may have gotten better lighting for her face. It's a nice candid portrait, but there are just too many shadows in the face, and too much detail is lost.

Would have been nicer if her face was in sharper focus.

She does look very happy and natural. A beautiful smile, but maybe not quite sharp enough. It does give you a good feeling to look at it anyway :)

Love the smile, but it appears like the focal point was in front of her and not on her face.

A lovely genuine smile is captured here, reflecting inner happiness. A few changes I would make are in: The focus seems a little out, reflection for her skin tones seems over stated, slight halo on upper right part of head and upper left arm, her left. I bet her eyes are beautiful a closer shot or cropping, on her right the rail is stealing the focus from her smile. A different Jacket may of worked better here. 6
