I like the blurry hands. It makes it feel like a stolen moment.

Stunning model. Nice candid feel and good even light. Look forward to seeing the rest of the series when I get hold a computer with a more recent flash update on it. Perhaps would have cropped out about an inch on the left to remove the annoying white blur, but still got a 7 from me in the challenge.

As an aside, thanks for your kind comment on my shot.

Cheers

Sultry. I like the bokeh although I can't say I'm crazy about the motion blur. 7

nice isolation from the background. Don't quite get what is going on with the hands

I love candid portraits, and this is excpetional IMNSHO. She is really attractive, and there's just something about her expression that makes me want to know what's going on. Really, really nice. 8

Nicely engaged in this portrait.... Very nice. The rounded square gives it a sort of retro feel which is good.

I wish I could see her eyes a bit better. Good photo, but the focus feels a bit soft.

I usually like artistic blur, but I like it to be more... complete and thorough. In this shot, the blur is really more of almost a haze or a smudge. Basically I think this might have turned out better if it was either in perfect focus, or with a whole lot more blur. Just a thought. :)

Nice candid feel, pretty light (just enough fill flash, looks like) - focus is nice to draw your attention to her eyes -- 7 --

Interesting use of motion blur - I like it, it adds interest. Lovely model, beautifully in focus too. In my top 10.
