Nice selecting focus control.Ang I like the harmony of tones.

She is the only one standing, and she is already the natural point of focus for the eye. Therefore I'm struggling to understand your decision to use such heavy Gaussian blur. I'm really not sure that it was necessary, the picture was strong enough to be left alone I think.

That's just my opinion many others may disagree and find a bewitching dreaminess in the image, perhaps a different approach might be to use white vignette instead.

I like the idea for the picture but I wouldn't have placed her in the middle - I 'd have preferred a square with the girl on the right

Minimalist and very nice. I like your processing here and the simple pose.

I do like how this image fits together : it probably breaks some 'rules' along the way but the overall intent is to grab attention and it sure works !

I disagree with Curly on this one. I like the dreamlike effect created by the blurring. It makes the image somewhat thought-provoking, rather than merely documentary.
