Way to much skin softening.

I think it's great. The level of softening depends on what you try to achieve. Especially for a female portrait, the 'porcelain' skin look is OK by me.

I like it. Well done. Love the tone. Great Portrait.
BTW - as a side note - you may just want to double check the rules re posting in 24hours. Would hate to see some of your images get deleted by the Mods.

I have to agree, the softness does work. It's a great shot! I can't wait to get my 50mm.

I like it too... and I do think the softness is a preference of some more than others. Good job
