| In looking at this image, it really does capture you. I might not call it vivid but the contrast of the warm skin framed within the dark warm hair and the cooler blue of the coat surrounded by the cooler background allows for her to stand out a bit more. The eyes seem to have been over treated and have lost a bit of depth/shadow that creates contrast/shape. Overall it is a nice image. Yet it is just a portrait. There could be a sharper clarity within the model as well as a stronger separation of background. There is something I like about the background, the lines and such, yet it melds in with the fly-away hairs and creates a blurred feel on the viewer's eyes. Though come the end of the day she does capture attention. |

| lovely model, wonderful background, great color and composition - but I am not at all a fan of the choice of editing of the eyes in this shot - way overdone in my opinion |

| Great portrait. Nice job making the eyes pop- they add a nice intensity to the pose. I'd like this quite a bit more if the bokeh weren't distracting... perhaps its the lens that you've used, or the aperture or the distance to the trees in the background... not sure which. Either way, I'd like the branches a bit more blurred out. Maybe also consider composing the shot such that the line where the snow becomes trees is not included in the frame. Elevate the POV to include only snow or lower it to include only trees so that there isn't that strong line between light and dark in the background. |

| I love this. Her eyes just pop off of the page. The shape of the buttons creates a repeating theme and then her pupils add to it. Different. NICE. |
