i just started working on some pictures from my shoot with nicole. i shot these the same day that i shot alessandra in the fog. this one really caught my eye, and i wanted to get some honest opinions about it. i really like this picture, and her face, but i feel like some people might think her expression is a little wierd. also, should i make her eyes pop more, or do they pop enough? please tell me what you think. thank you. i'll be posting more of her soon.

    Yeah, the expression is a little off-putting. But it's a nice shot, otherwise. I wouldn't work on a whole lot of pop for the eyes, but I would reduce/elminate the blue cast in them. And maybe some sharpening, if you've a mind to.

    nice catch on the bluish cast, that's kinda wierd, but i'll get on that soon. i already sharpened them, but wasn't sure if it was enough, i guess it wasn't. thanks a lot david!

    i think that's why i like the expression, some good attitude. and i'll possibly smooth out her lips. thanks!

    It's enough for me. I said to sharpen them if you're so moved. I don't think they need it. Just get rid of the blue, for my taste.

    I like it. It's a little unsettling, which in this case I think is good. It makes it stand out from the crowd of 'good photo of pretty girl'. I like portraits with some emotional impact, this one has it. All good... :):

    PS. I wouldn't smooth anything, this photo is a 'tell it as it is' type of thing... (IMHO)

    I like the expression and the eyes as they are (minus blue cast).

    I'm with Eric on the lips though...

    Nice job!

    Nice image, but white shirt top draws my eye.
    The white shirt top (bottom of image) draws my eyes to it. You may want to crop it out of the photo or tone it down. Good image for the most part.
