Please let me know what you think.

This is a very good portrait Ed...but I feel if you have left a very little space on top then it could be much better...I like the skin tone the tungsten colour effect is really very nice (is it a very little out?)...Keep it up...Best wishes & regards....

Ed: This has all the ingredients of a good picture but there are several problems. Why are the shutters there and why are they in focus? Is that the best placement of the hands? Why are there lights on both sides? Could a better angle for the model have been found?

Thanks for your constructive critiques, they are very helpful.

Poorly focused, composed, color adjusted. Plus, she looks pissed.

I have to go with Haus on this one. It's really not a soft focus, more out of focus. There is much that can be done with WB for a warm, pleasing effect. This way, it's just too yellow

Interesting discussion here. I tend to agree with ones and anothers. I do think it's very difficult choice such a so close portrait to the model. I don't like the shutters at all, really, but I like that much skin, and I think the hands are all right. And the sheet are expecially good, leaving all the work for our imagination. I think you should have captured a different expression as Haus mentioned. I really like this type of girl. Beautiful hair.

Boy, you really got a lot of information from people!! Must be nice. I tend to think this picture is okay, just reminds me of "Mrs. Robinson" alittle.

I'd like to thank each of you for your comments. I did ask her to look upset in the photo. She did and some like it and some don't. I was not using the tripod as I probably should have. I did have other shots of this but I liked this one the best. Thanks again from the newbie.
