The hair movement is interesting but the expression makes me want to smack her.

very nice!

Her eyes tell a story.....

Beautiful image but somewhat of an awkward head position. Seems as if she is jutting out of the picture and somewhat detached from her neck (imho). BOL

Pretty girl making an ugly face. Too bad, cuz the quality is quite good.

You've done a very nice job conveying attitude and emotion is this photo. Something that's not that easy to do. Focus is very good. Textures are good. Composition is good. Levels and lighting are good. And all those technical "goods" come together to create a great photo. Well done. Among my top picks.

looks really good, great hair movement, only thing is i'd take the dark circles out from under her eyes. i'm sure it was just a lighting shadow, but it'd look better w/out it. overall great picture though. 5

Nicely done. Her eyes really pop and I like the blowing hair.

i see where you're going, and you have potential, but this image doesn't quite get there for me. she looks too bored, and there's no context to explain why...

10 from me....not a fan of how she is holding her head...but I won't hold that against you!

Nice movement but lighting not very flattering

I like the hair in this shot, but I think the lighting is a bit too harsh, creating that dark shadow from the nose.

Beautiful

A nice shot. The expression on her face is unusual, adding interest to the shot. And her hear flying up like that gives the impression of motion. Nice composition - decentered.

Beautifully lit portrait. I find the shadow below her hair on camera left to be a little distacting, but overall it's a beautiful piece.

Great portrati - I like the expression, eyes and hair. The background, however, could be a bit better I think. The reason I say this is because the background seems to almost blend in with her clothing and makes her stand out less. I think perhaps a white background would have provided more contrast to make her stand out from her background even more.
