That's a nice portrait, but it's too bad there is nothing in focus ....

Nice portrait pose, good choice of crop. The background is too close to you and there seems to be a fuzziness that does not come off as glow or soft focus, but rather a slow shutter speed. The light is flat. You should try to get a fill flash involved in this or a bright natrual light from a window, crossing from one side to the other as opposed to straight on.

Appears on this monitor that the shadows in your sweater/blouse are so deep that there is no definition in the clothing, leaving it simply a dark area that is competing with the lightness of the background.

Score: 3

The focus on your face is not so good but I do like your attitude and expression, genuine smile :)

Nice photo but should be sharper especially the pupils and irises. Can do this in photoshop elements etc.Composition would have been stronger with a less central placement. think the "rule of thirds". Great expression.
