great idea, but it appears your focus is off just a bit. i don't mind the foreground being blownout, but would like to have seen a bit more tonal range on her face.

Just missed on the focus. The eyes are not quite there...

I think a different time of day would help this. The shadow across her face is distracting. The leaves are also distracting, but I think it would work if more of the plants were included.

Very nice composition and capture, too bad it's a bit blurry in her face.

This is a great shot, but is hurt by the soft focus on her face. I like the lighting and how her face is framed by the leaves.

The shadow across the middle of her face, leaving each eye in light with dark between them, is a distraction for me

good idea, but the photo looks kinda strange, pity that this leaf is in the way

To mant shadows accross her face.....

I think there is too many burned out areas, and it needs to be sharper.

Beautiful subject. Unfortunately, the leaves , or whatever they are that are on the foreground distracts me from her.

the contrast is too washed out, and i'm not sure that the soft focus works on this one.

the shadow on her face is really distracting.focus good.

sorry to say that to me this all looks too blurry and the subject looks crosseyed.

it's really quite messy with a lot of distracting objects, like the leaf in front of her...the focus isn't quite right, but it's a nice attempt

soft focus doesn't work very well on this one. Framing is interesting.

this is a wonderful image, the light made it a challenge, I am sure. If her eyes were a bit sharper, it would just put this one over the top.

Cool portrait but i think you over did the NI

With her eyes in focus this would be great. IMHO they look soft.
