| I like this, gave it an 8, and thought your model and you did a great job. There is one bit of stray hair on the forehead that looks almost like a scar--heal that out, perhaps, if you've a mind to. Or not. |

| This seems a bit over-cooked on the noise reduction and too much saturation on the eyes. I think I would have cropped in a bit more to really bring focus to your model. She is gorgeous! |

| Really nice shot - shame about that stray hair near her right eye that could have been cloned out. Still, on first pass I think it's worth an 8. On second pass the 8 stays, putting it my top 8 images. |

| Maria, I did stop at this one for awhile and then thought it was another one. I like how the eyes match the material. The skin is always something difficult to manage. I think you have done ok, some spots seem smoother than others. Hope it finishes well for you. |

| Hey Maria. I gave you a 7 on this shot. But looking at how I voted I only had 6 images with a higher score. So here we go. The good - lovely model. Very nice eye contact. Clean editing and pleasing light. Composition is nice. The framing of the veil works for me. The bad - nothing sticks out really. There is some weird texture going on with her nose there at the shadow line - but nothing a quick view would catch. The indifferent - the whole shot is pleasing, nothing really bad to say about it. But that is also the issue I guess. It is very nice, but doesn't scream a big DPC "WOW". No major flaws, no major issues, but not a whole lot to grab the voter and keep them here for very long. DPC as a client, for the most part, wants and needs that instant grab. That quick fix of WOW to score that higher vote. And I think that is what you are missing here for the DPC community and a challenge with this theme. That said - print this out as an 11x14 and deliver it to your model. Her reaction should be better than any score you could receive here. I would love to be able to deliver an image like this to a client. |

| The composition and lighting are really nice, and I think you've captured the eyes just fine. For me, it lacks a bit of drama. |

| Great lighting, expressions and composition. The lighting looks like it is from a softbox (based on what I see on her pupils). I do not know if natural light would have been a better choice for this challenge. |
