Added another new one...must be popular lately...please comment...thank you

If you are talking about the B/W one it's blurred.
Not one for your port I feel.

Unfortunately I must agree, you have made the focus the wall she is standing by and put her out of focus blurring her. I can't see you ever wanting to do this on purpose and so as said before, not one for the port. Unless you want to advertise that you can't shoot in focus.

Sorry.

I know it's blurred. That's the whole point. I took three shots of the same pose. Two where the model is in focus and one where she's slightly out of focus. I liked this one to be honest hence why I put it in.

In that case I would say the idea you went for was not obvious enough so it became lost. For instance Red Doves shot above, immediately you know it is intentional blur for effect and is quite artistic. In your case this did not come across so it looked like a mistake. Personally I don't feel blurring yours unlike Reds gives any gain to the image aside from just looking blurred I am afraid. Credit though for trying to be creative, 99% of success is making mistakes so don't be too down about the negative response.

Not at all. Fair comment. Thanks

If I were to crtique I would say that possibly the area in focus maybe too sharp but never the less  I like the fell overall. To me it is actually intentional I certainly done see it a an oversight or cardinal mistake.

Its only life.

I like it..its intriguing, dreamy, sexual and soft at the same time, also from a photographic point of view its brave and it takes lots of competence to go for the idea, well done

Thanks to all who commented on my pic. I have now changed the pic to an in focus one. Let me know your thoughts about this one also. thanks
