rather than a subtle warm feeling you get with a soft blur, I really get a sense of a heavily processed image where the noise reduction has been done at full, especially in the grassy areas. that's the immediate thing i noticed. however, after a longer viewing, lots of qualities come to light; i actually really like the high contrast bright and bold colours. i like how she's posing with her eyes shut and arms outward, both of which is different to the norm. i love the lighting. the butterfly make up is a bit unnecessary to be honest; it certainly doesn't add anything (your model has dreamy drama all over her), and has the unfortunate effect of making her appearance of either a burn victim or of someone seriously deprived of sleep. but it is slightly mad, and i agree with the title, very dreamlike. 7.

Nice colors but the pose, expression, lighting and crop look awkward...

I dont care much for the pose of the 'model' in this shot but there is a little softness to this image which is good

This is weird and cool. I'm afraid it might not go over well, but I like it's difference and artistry. Beautiful colors. 7
