I like it specially eyes, they are sharp, almost crystal on blurry rest. For me good.

Love this shot, the tone, the pose, the eyes......

Nice shot, but it doesn't quite look like real bokeh.

Nice shot, but it doesn't quite look like real bokeh.

It actually is all natural, no blur has been added.

I'd like a photoshop expert to help me do a better job cleaning under the eyes though.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know a thing about portrait photography, but I know what I like, and I do like this. Stunning!

Mac,

Great shot! Nice job on the selective focus but there's no bokeh.

I like this picture very much. You did a great job, really. The model is very beautiful and has amazing eyes, I also love the way her hair waves around. In my opinion, this such a great picture also looks good in black and white.
However, the model's skin distracts me a bit, especially the area under the eyes. I think you should work on retouching these parts of her face, because they look a bit lighted up and the face looks somehow puffy.

The term 'bokeh' refers to the appearance/quality of out-of-focus areas in an image. In this picture, I think there is no bokeh to speak of. The out-of-focus areas are just blurred with no real quality to them. Nice shot nonetheless and nice use of shallow DOF.

I'd like to see the full color version. H

Wow her eyes are out of this world, I love the crop and her hair as well. The depth of field is just a little bit shallow for my taste. Her face blurred with only the eyes in focus makes this shot a little surreal and a little less immediate than I would have liked, but still, a beautiful piece..

What was this - f1.2, f1.4?

You guys are right about the bokeh.
