Thanks to everyone for the comments. Something got screwed up with the softening between my original and the final jpeg I posted. I screwed up my mask for my softening when I flattened or something.

I gave this an 8. Beautiful photo and model. However, I am not 100% sure you're trying to create a soft image or if the photo is out of focus. Maybe it's my monitor. Nice work !

very pretty model, and I like the way you used the light and shadows. I just wish her face was a bit sharper

Lose of detail due to light being too low IMO. Basically the Eye you can see should have been the focus point but its blurred.

Like the split lighting, well done there. Wish her eyes were in sharper focus.
