You did a great job posing! Very natural. You look like someone modeling a coat!

I'm not sure if you did any blemish removal or skin smoothing but for some reason the chin does not look right. Almost as if it had been smoothed but not feathered. If I am wrong, I apologize. The background to me, does not seem to match from left to right which kind of pulls the eye away from the "model". The left has more detail and white whereas the right seems more off-white and not as sharp. In the upper right corner, there is a large area that does not fit the details of the rest of the background. Also, I would suggest adding a few more snowflake to the fur. The way the fur is standing up, it gives the impression that a wind is coming from the front and not the side, so the snow would probably land a bit more around the face instead of just one side.

How did you manage to keep the eyeglasses so clear? They almost look like there are no lenses in them. Beautifully done. For a selfie, it came out really nice! Considering a modeling career now?

I thought this was a painting at first. I find it very pleasing and like the look on your face. Background is great choice. Looks like you're bundled up for a cold day. The whole picture fits together very well. Good luck on contest!

I think this is very good and is well posed and taken. The focus is spot on giving very good clear detail and nice colours. The background works very well and I like the angle you have taken yourself on instead of straight front look.

:) Du er Vakker!
My favorite quote on beauty comes to mind everytime I think of you or see a photo of you. It is a quote by Sophia Loren, "Beauty is how you feel inside and it reflects in your eyes." I have grown to TRUST those wise, kind, eagle eyes of yours for over 3 years now. I know your beauty and grace far, far away from these cyber walls and this photo shows all why you are and always will be La Mia Cara Amica.
I love the beauty and shine of your eyes, the porcelain like skin and the fur on your hooded coat. The painterly filter used is done with your usual masterful touch.
What sends this over the top is your background and your addition of tiny snowflakes.
Sokkene Av! Glad your remote is being put to Good use! ;)
I expect to find this photo in my email soooooon! Hint..hint
Fine work of my FAVORITE human on this planet!
Well done Cara Mia!

Wow! Great entry to contest! As say my friend Tatiana: Very well done and very professional! Great work with the filter of oil painting, that gave wonderful results here. I seems very natural, with exquisite tone and texture of the skin. Good luck!

Fantastic selfie. the image is very sharp and clear. White background is effective to make you look outstanding with dark outfit. The expression is well communicated. well done and thanks for sharing.
