WOW. That looks super awesome Michael!! I love how you've got a dreamy depth of field going, especially on the floor- all those details in the tiles, then they fade into a blur! I find her facial features to be a little harsh compared to everything else since they're so crisp and so black (i think they should be about as in focus as the rest of her face, but that might just be me!!!) but mostly that's because i love the soift of soft focus that makes everything seem so flowing and light. great job!! :-D

(Pardon the bad grammar throughout. I've had a little itty bit to drink tonite! hehe!)

Thank you for a real critique!

I wanted the face to really grab the eye, like she is appearing face-first. I was worried I'd made the face too soft.
