I actually like the somewhat soft quality. It construes the ambiguous nature of "keeping secrets." It's enhanced some by a lack of true black, which I also think is fitting. The skin tones are quite nice, though some sort of lower left fill would've helped to bring things out a little more on your face. The pose, the pursed lips, the slight smile, up-tilted head and the eyes to give off the feeling of "keeping secrets." Well done!

Lovely eyes by the way!

Taken just a little south of Seaside, OR. I thought the black and

white had a greater, more dramatic effect than the color version. My

only issue is that the Trendwest timeshares can be seen on the far

right. It's a nice facility but it's a real eyesore.

Thanks for your input!

I love the sharpness of the stems towards the left. the warmer light and color leads the eye towards the colder right edge, which also has some sharp bits.

I'd lose the white stroke around the edge of the photo though, it's a little distracting.

Wonderful work!

Comments and critique appreciated. Some of my first shots onVelvia.
