Yep, this one speaks! The softened plastic effect did not work. This portrait is far stronger and draws attention to the eyes, just where you want all the attention to go. This really is a beautiful woman and her expression captivates the viewer. I for one definitely prefer this version. Nice work.
Heya Stuart, she looks stunning but there is something really unnatural and blurry about the skin. The eyes and the lips are beautifully sharp but the rest of the face looks like someone has used a dirty eraser and smudged it out. I really love the expression and the composition and even the exposure is spot on but post processing is something that has robbed the quality from a stunning shot. Thankfully opinions vary and this is me just thinking out loud.

Beautiful portrait. The eyes are so sharp and everywhere else is soft - perfect
