The acid-tones work for me. Dig that blue hair and the blur. Back to bump this up. |

One of the few soft focus shots that I like. |

a very nice shot...did you add a gaussian blur to the background overlapping on the hair...doesn't matter...just wondered |

The arm is distracting a bit, otherwise the mood is so wonderful! Very well done! |

Strong composition which succeeds to a degree as an abstract. |

beautiful tones, composition. Love the hair over the eye--has a subtle Aeon Flux feeling, too. 8 |

It's the tone and the mood that keeps bringing me back to this photo...I think it is very much possible for there to be good blues! |

lovely image overall, gorgeous colors, but I feel like the shoulder is a little awkwardly out of place, due to it's clarity and position. |

not sure im too fond of the green backgorund. might have been fun to make it black ancc white so that the girl and her blue-ness would stand out more. dof seems a bit shallow too, although i like the amount of blur on her dress, its perfect. her elbow is a bit distracting in this pose |

A mix bag for me. The top half is very strong but the lower half looks awkward to me. |

The detail of the hair really stands out against all the soft focus and blurred background. |

Breaking all the rules, aren't ya? Nothing in the picture is sharp except a few strands of hair and the immediate curve of her shoulder, and the face is almost entirely hidden. The interesting thing is just how much we *can* make out about her despite the softness; that she is, for instance, of Asian extraction, that she *does* seem sad or at least introspective, and even, possibly, that she's normally somewhat of an extrovert, given the cut of her clothing.
Anyhow, I digress... It works very well, IMO, and you get a bump from the screening group from me. |

I like the overall feel of this photo. I find her shoulder is a little distracting. |

The color of the hair and the dress fits very well. Nice deep blues! |

The pose actually has potential IMO, Too little DOF for my taste |

I cannot get over the beautiful colors. The way the streaks of blue in her hair match the shirt is perfect, and I simply love the combination of colors you have here. Lovely lovely lovely!!! :) |

An unusual and appealing sort of portrait but would prefer it soft everywhere rather than the sharply focused shoulder. |
|
|
03/12/2009 05:29:29 AM |
A portrait that is also abstract. Its pretty and unusual and emotive. I like the focus on the hair. |

Curious perspective. The color tones/highlights are nice and work for the feel of the shot. |

Looks like the focus locked on to the shoulder, composition is good, face could be focused a little more. |

Her left arm (?) seems to feel out of place w/ a closer crop like this. Love the mix of cooler tones. |

very nice DOF and color treatment. I'd crop a bit closer at bottom. |

focus is a soft on the eyes. It looks like the best focus is on her hair actually. |

Sexy and subtle at the same time. I like the use of the very narrow DOF to add mood. |
