Looks like our monitors are calibrated differently because I can see the areas you painted in under her eyes and nose and on her chin quite clearly.

The border really annoys me in this image. The first thing I noticed was here eyes, but almost immediatly after that, my attention was drawn to the top border. If you hadn't cut so much off I would be ok with it, but since there is such a large slice missing, it bothers me. Becuase instead of focusing on the beautiful image, I am thinking about the border. I don't know. Still, very well done, lovely juxtaposition of the green and pink.

Nice high-key photo, but I don't like the frame at all. Asymmetric as is, just stirrs something that I do not find as helping the photo at all. Frame::ignore, therefore 7.

Beautiful subject,but photo is overprocessed.

The overexposed high key effect works really well. Great Work

I don't like this border at all. It just makes it look like her head is cut off.

Not real sure about the colors here. I like the look and the idea.

I like this, very hypnotising. I personally wouldn't have used this frame though, the overlay from image into frame comes over too abrupt. Especially at the top.

I like this a lot.. Maybe a little overboard with the editing, but she has a haunting look.

I piece of art fresh out of the bath? So serious! Different & interesting, for sure. I like the contrast & of course the eyes are a great subject. The towel gives a nice curve & ties it al together.

Those are great green eyes! Contrasted well against the pink. I like the high key treatment you've done but I don't really like how the photo cuts off into teh white border. I find it a bit distracting.

The high key is so effective. I love the pink of her hood contrasted against the audacious vibrant sea like green of her eyes...and she does have a bit of a mischevious look about her...I liked this when I fisrt spied it.

P.S... you better not pull this one Kate! Who cares what the masses think.

Love the high-key effect here and the sharpness of the eyes amd the rest is great. Sorta feel like a little too much is white, but I'm giving this a 9 anyway.
