    Finally wanted to make a picture without too much photo shoping, your thoughts?!

    This would not be my field at all but here is my opinion for what its worth,
    at first glance there is not much to hold my attention, there is really no focal
    point, a strange kind of texture going on especially in the hair, which is a
    bit messy I have an uncontrollable urge to give it a good brushing!

    I think more of the face needs to be seen, not eye contact just less profile,
    just an opinion hope I dont offend!

    I like it. Very elegant / feminine. Shows enough without showing too much. I like the grain effect but take SB’s point around the hair. it distracts from the overall feel of elegance in the shot.

    Nice work

    The scarf thingy – can’t help thinking it is superfluous. Otherwise lovely.

    Thanks guys!
    Grainness was added by high ISO, imo it was 1600 (for D3000 it’s noisy).
    Pixelle, scarf was added to cover body a little bit, because it looked for me too naked.
    Shutterbug, I must agree with attention point, but try to look to it like on Canvas, and at least I’m getting a picture like it is in my brain without getting an acctual point of interest.
    Ramsmith, what is SB point? (new term for me).
    Now I can try to widen up my point of view :)

    I think SB is me (ShutterBug) and the point I made about the hair! :)

    Without repeating the point already made about the hair, I think the only thing lacking in this shot is an open eye.

    Really like everything else about it, beautiful B&W

    I had a picture with opened eye as well. but don’t know why I liked this better. Biggest point I got from this – to more make attention to hair.
