dramatic, engaging, wish I was a bit closer to the subject.. one of my favorites this challenge

I like the contrasts in this photo and the expression and pose seem to tell a story! The background is nicely out of focus but the tree (?) in the left side is a bit distracting?

Would have liked a little less headroom.

Striking picture! Nice!

Il ike the contrasting white wrap with her wonderful dark skin tones and the muted background. I find that one...tree? behind her head a bit distracting, but I really like this photo - she seems natural as opposed to other entries.
Good luck. :-)

nice image but I think you could have knocked a solid half inch off of the sky.

nice light, i feel it needs to be back lit some more..but i like the bg out of focus
09/14/2005 04:06:36 PM
great mood and subject... a little more light on the subjects face would have helped for me as the features seem a little lost less defined than I would like... well done... :)

a bit soft in the face but a very nice shot. excellent lighting and composition. nice warm colour. wish model was repositioned to block out-of-focus tree to the left. probably would crop a little bit from the top. 7/10

Great eye contact and expression. Love the wrap. I think it would have been absolutely beautiful if you had moved in closer filling up the frame with her and catching a bit more light in her eyes and on her face. 8

A good portrait... the focus seems a bit soft.

Very Very pretty! I love your use of natural sunlight. Looks like the perfect time of day with nice warm light. She fits in nicely with the scene. It has a very exotic feel to it. Good job on using the white coverup and being able to keep the details while keeping it bright but not blownout. What I might do if this were mine would be to maybe dodge the eyes a slight bit to make them stand out a little more and maybe try to brighten her face just a bit more. But overall, I think this is a very nice portrait. Well Done

wow, I love the statement this pose makes! it's almost like a freedom meets future ceo of america feeling. The only problem with th epose is the hair, it's very fuzzy and hangs across the left shoulder but other than that I like it. The makeup around the eyes doesn't really seem to match the face either. I like the use of dof and the emotion in her eyes. great shot
09/13/2005 06:31:05 AM
Beautiful model. I think there is too much space above her. Also maybe more light on her face would have worked better.
09/13/2005 06:04:57 AM
I like this, too bad you didn't have some dramatic lighting on her face.
09/12/2005 01:08:45 PM
The lighting is too harsh and the background distracting. It looks like the brown things on the left are growing off her head. The horizon cuts the photo in half.
09/12/2005 10:53:25 AM
I love the warmth of this shot, her smile too. Wonderful shot.
09/12/2005 10:48:37 AM
Not quite sure what she is wearing. She looks more confined than peaceful. I find the background distracting--the tree and the horizon line. I would give a much higher score had you done a close crop (from the neck up) and had a solid background.

sexy shot
09/12/2005 05:20:38 AM
Simply beautiful! I like tighter crops for portraits but this works well. Only the taller tree behind her take my eye off her.
09/12/2005 01:11:15 AM
Wow, that is beautiful! I sure wish her face was a little more visible- might just be this monitor too- who knows? Fantastic portrait!
09/11/2005 11:16:28 PM
Too much space on top. A closer composition or tighter crop would have been better.
09/11/2005 09:48:08 PM
....at a loss for words....wow
09/11/2005 08:40:42 PM
lovely. could be a bit brighter.
09/11/2005 08:36:08 PM
beautiful portrait, I would of liked to seen a tighter crop but overall, gorgeous!
