Do you like that the face is blurred?

I think the blurred face helps the viewer to focus on the curls. I like it.

I love that the face is blurred! I really like this shot including the strong saturation of colours but with that said I think her lips are too red and could be toned down.

Personally I think this is a great shot the way it is; toning down the lips might leave the green on the left side as the "eye catcher" and this could affect it's balance... but I'm no expert, only expressing a personal opinion

I really like this photograph. I like that her face is blurred, it gives more focus on the curls. So if that's what you were going for, you achieved it . The only thing I would do differently is I probably wouldn't have saturated the photo as much, but other than that it's really nice. Great photo

Thanks for the advice,saturation is my weakness. Ring pop sucker is her choice of lipstick, glad it wasn't blue. Thank you again for the comments

When this shot popped up I went, "Woah." love the composition and out of focus face. It just looks too obviously photoshopped to me though. Contrast and saturation are a bit glaring. As is the textured border. It certainly grabbed my attention though!
