I disagree with some of the comments about the shadows in this portrait, which I like. My problem is with the DOF, which is so shallow that her hat is too foreground to be in focus, and her chin too background to be in focus, whereas I think a slightly deeper DOF would have made this whole portrait better. Nice work, Marcin!

You certainly like detail in your shots. There is plenty here. I can't fault this too much but I have to say the shadow East of the nose is a touch distracting. The shadow under the lip doesn't bother me so much as it is out of the field of interest.

I like the over all portrait. I'm left with a feel that something is missing, and I'm not sure what it is. I thing I like to see more of the face. This a clean portrait,over all I like it and thank you for sharing. Stuart
