I like the framing and the directness of the model's gaze. The skin tone is pretty good but the highlights seem over exposed. I might try shooting from a slightly higher angle, just to see what it looks like. Some light on the back drop would lessen the shadow on the right. I like your choice of overall tint.

The bottom of her face looks blurred and the top sharp, this is a bit disturbing. Photoshop?

This isn't tres chic, if you'll forgive the bluntness. This looks more like a glamour or vanity portrait than something I'd see in a fashion magazine, and unfortunately for this attractive woman, not a very good one. I could have done without the duotone. The model needs to be placed furthur away from the background to avoid the 'big hair' effect created by dark shadow directly behind her. Her skin tones are quite washed out do to overexposure. Try again, keeping her placement in relation to her background in mind and filtering the flash a bit with some wax paper taped over it.

a bit overexposed imho where detail on the left neck and left face is blown out.. nose is also blown out.. stop down -1 or 1.5 or so

For me, the lighting is a little too strong, but I like the eyes and facial expression.

Duotone Fashion. Nicely done with the dual challenge criteria. How did you decide which challenge to enter?

Don't care for the reddish cast to the pic. The lighting is very harsh and not at all flattering. Not sure I can really see a connection to 'fashion'. It's an ok prtrait, but I just can't quite make the connection to the challenge.

I don't think this says "FSHION" clearly enough.

A very pretty girl. Nice facial structure. Nice hair style. The eyes are deep and expressive. Not sure what is actually the fashion being portrayed though. Could be the hair style. I do see this in a beauty salon on the wall, so that is what I will venture to go with here. I don't get the title. I don't speak in other languages other than English..LOL.but I gave this an 8. Nice over all photo.
