[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 153219, member: 6548"] Beautiful chick you are lucky. Hard for me to score it but maybe a 6-8. Color is outstanding very nice earthy tones everywhere. She is sort of intriguing maybe it is just those beautiful eyes and the coiffed hair. Focus is outstanding but it ought to be with that lens. But there are several things that I don't like about the image. You cut off her hair. That is bad in my book. 35mm FL distortion you are to close IMO for that focal length...35mm even on DX is NOT a head and shoulders shooter. I would prefer her centered especially as she looks so strong and confident. It is just wooden/posed to me with a model like that there are definitely better angles of view and more interesting stories to tell behind that face. I'm no great portraitist myself and I make a lot of these same kind of mistakes all of the time. The snap stands up fairly well though but not really because of the photography per se but rather because of the sheer power and presence of the woman herself. She would make a great Cleopatra or Boudica. You're lucky to have a model like that around IMO. Let's see some more if you please! (not in this thread though haha) :) [/QUOTE]
