Critique Club Review:
Not sure what to do here, except say congratulations on winning! Talk about intimidation. How can I improve a photo that came in first, from a photographer with five first place finishes, ten second place finishes, and numerous third place and honorable mentions? But enough of my whining....
Color, saturation, hue, lighting, contrast are all fantastic! Pose, angle, and cropping are great also.
I like the way the eye is sharp, and the rest goes soft.
If I could find anything that I think would be an improvement, (and I'm really looking hard here), would be that the chin goes a little soft a little quick on the right side; almost blending into her chest. And the other that catches my eye is that her hat is a little too sharp on the front of the bill. I think I would like it a little better soft, more like the other fabric in the piece. Both items are very minor. Would not stop me from giving this a 10.
Congratulations on a very well deserved first place finish. This is just an amazing picture that does not tire the eye. I could look at this every day for year, and still not be bored. |

| A beautiful shot but I feel it could be improved by having the lower portion of her face more in focus, especially since she has the pastel lipstick on that is so dramatic and different- a crisper focus there would improve this shot. |

| I had a similar idea for a pastel entry but I ended up not even submitting. You executed it nicely :) The coloring is nice and Asian faces are SOOOO beautiful to me. I can't decide if the sharpness of her cap is detracting or adding to the composition so I won't even consider it in voting. 9 |

| I like the intention. For me, I would have liked to have seen the lips match the eye shade and the eyelashes to be less matted. Very critical, I know, but my impression. I like the offset of the face to the scarf |
