Lovely model, but you neat imaged all the character out of her... She looks flat now, like she is pressing her face against a glass window...

maybe alittle too soft for my liking, perhaps alittle sharper about the eyes would have worked well here, to give the illusion of a shallow DOF

The overall composition is very nice and she is well posed. The image has a nice softness to it as well, but in these types of shots you really need the eyes to pop - they really need to be sharp (IMO). She has some beautiful eyes and there is some nice color in the picture, but it comes across a little flat/muted. Nice image though.

quite nice compo and colours, but the poor focus really lets this down. perhaps you were going for soft, but there's realy nothing in. it's too bad, as this could have doen quite well. (possible over NIed?)

Beautiful face with very nice expression, just a bit too soft focus. 7

looks like a classic capture with these pearls and the gradient background.
It's a little too soft-focusy to my taste

I find the image too soft, Lighting is a little flat also (though good butterfly lighting). Pose & composition are very good.

If blur was applied, try masking off the blur around the eyes and mouth.

Sorry but never been a fan of softfocus and this shot doesn´t change my mind about that technique at all, I would have liked this HEAPS better if it were pristine sharp.

I like the lighting and the pose in this classic portrait. Lovely smile and nice make-up and props. Sadly, the focus is too soft, perhaps due to post processing? I'd like to see clearer detail, including some skin texture.

The focus, while soft, is a bit blurry as a result. However, you really did a great job with lighting.

Way to much softfocus

A bit too soft, I think.

OK...this is a REAL woman here, beautiful pose and classic shot, love the pearls and smile etc...but the photo...it's really soft and processed in a funny kind of way. It just lacks some sharpness around the eyes...maybe that's a preference for me, but it's just too soft bordering on blurry...I'm sorry. I wish I could be more positive

She is very beautiful and the soft tones gives it a little bit extra.

Great job - 7 from me
