not sure if want.
horrible noise
I love the color work on this. It brings out her eyes wonderfully. I'm not sure if I like the background though.

i think it's been over worked. Shadows too orange for me.
evarything but the kimono and eyes needs desaturate
The focus falling off on the woman is distracting: you should've stopped down more.The background is distracting, too: you should've framed it so the forms in the background either weren't there or jived with her somehow: providing some context, leading the eyes to her, etc.Very nice use of color, though.>>287761It's only on the thumbnail. Look at it full-size.
Her eyes look terrible, sorry. Therea a brown edge to the blue :|apart from that its alright, like anon mentioned - the shallow dof is distracting, and doesn't enhance the photo.
Fear my lame skillz...Thanks for the comennts. Wasn't paying enough attention to my surroundings.>>287764FemaleCamera-Specific Properties:Equipment MakeSONYCamera ModelDSLR-A350Camera SoftwareAdobe Photoshop CS3 WindowsMaximum Lens Aperturef/2.8Focal Length (35mm Equiv)60 mmImage-Specific Properties:Image OrientationTop, Left-HandHorizontal Resolution72 dpiVertical Resolution72 dpiImage Created2008:11:06 01:16:32Exposure Time1/60 secF-Numberf/3.5Exposure ProgramManualISO Speed Rating400Brightness1.4 EVExposure Bias0 EVMetering ModeCenter Weighted AverageLight SourceUnknownFlashFlash, CompulsoryFocal Length40.00 mmColor Space InformationsRGBImage Width799Image Height1200RenderingNormalExposure ModeManualWhite BalanceAutoScene Capture TypeStandardContrastHardSaturationHighSharpnessHard
>>287836it's a bit rough but that is along the right lines
>>287836Just thought i'd add: Hey OiD, haven't seen you about in a while
>>288047Yeah, been a bit absent lately. Friends, family, school, conventions, exams bla bla bla.Also been reading a bunch of photography books about composition n stuff.>>> Libraries are good
>>287836Second version's better, although I prefer the multicolored eyes. Her cheek looks too orange to me in both of them (possibly an issue with white balance, but more likely an issue with the ZOMFGSATURATIONNNNNNN!!! that you seem to have applied, which I otherwise approve of). Could use a bit more DoF.
The saturation is good on the clothes and such, but not good on the skin tones. The person carrying the bag in the background is an unwelcome distraction. Clever Photoshopping to remove the distractions and solve the issues raised or ideally a reshoot would be nice to see.
