I'd like to know your thoughts on this portrait. I found it quite

personal and like the soft approach but I'm not 100% convinced that

the eye on the back is OOF. What do you think?

Her left eye does seem out of focus.

Antony,

 

Thanks for the comment. Sorry that I made a mistake in my critique request. I must have said:

"I found it quite personal and like the soft approach but I'm not 100% convinced given that the eye on the back is OOF."

Funny how it changed the whole meaning of my question. :-) The question is: How the OOF eye affects the image?

-greetz, Gerard.

Ah! Got it! I would say that it does seem to make a more personal connection with the viewer this way. However, I'm not sure that someone wouldn't think it's just out of focus. I'm sure that if you softened it a bit more, it would be more obvious that it is intentional but would likely ruin the appeal of the photo. Overall, I like the image. I wish some others would ring in on their thoughts on this!
