Like the soft blurring in this.

Prosit Ray. I like the soft focus effect complementing the blurred background. Nice skin tones and soft colours throughout.

Sorry Ray . although the treatment is effective , I think it's a tad overdone . Bill

I'll go along with William but say the treatment of the skin is quite overdone.  You want to make blemishes soften but not lose the texture of the skin in order to make it look real.

Matter of taste. I like the way you processed this shot. Very appropriate and well done.

Beautiful work, Raymond!

Lovely! Best regards, Ilkka

Beautiful soft style portrait!!

Hola Raymond. Excelente retrato de estas bella modelo. Un cordial saludo, Joaquín.

Beautiful portrait, the softness gives it a touch of good taste, the model´s sight looks tenderly, in general the composition is great. Good job.

Regards

Raymond.  I think the soft focus and the smooth skin are just right for the mood of this shot.  I wonder about sharpening that right eye just a tad more.

I like the treatment of this wonderful portrait. Reminds me of soft focus filters during the days of film. Regards!

Wonderful portrait, Raymond...beautiful expression...excellent post-processing...very soft feel...my best

Excellent portrait!.........Regards Kawan

Lovely portrait!

I found this to be a beautiful portrait of a beautiful girl, the ultra-soft focus works well here.

Beautiful soft portrait, I also like your creative approach to framing.

The soft and dreamy focus is just lovely in this portrait. She still has a sparkle in her eyes, yet she seems to be off in her own 'dreamland', almost a 'wistful' look in her eyes.  Her skin tones are a beautiful contrast to the bark on the tree. Your equally soft DOF rounds off this lovely shot just nicely. I must visit more often.  I could learn much in observing your portfolio Raymond.  I'm very inexperienced in many areas of Photography.  This is just beautiful.  Most sincerely, Gail
