Hey Lorenz - congrats on the top 5 finish and Honourable Mention.

Lovely shot, as are the rest of the Arab Street shots.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are her stare ... right at me ... very unnerving!

Technically there is not much I can say. This is a great shot and the HM proves it.

Artistically this is great but there are a few things that bother me. First, the catchlight in her eye is quite distracting I find. Second, I find three is too much of her hand in the frame, maybe crop in a bit or have her other eye exposed but obscured by the leaves? I also find the abundance of foreground blur to be a little too much.

In summary a great shot, a great score, what more can I say.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.

The light and colortone is awesome. I really love that the focus is on her eyes and mouth.
02/21/2010 12:55:08 PM
Very Autumnal feel to this - nice work though !
02/21/2010 12:52:03 AM
This should easily finish as a ribbon!
02/18/2010 03:06:00 AM
it gives me an overall feeling of natural

A really well done photo, but one thing bothers me about it a lot. Her headwear is natural leaves, but her face is covered in heavy makeup. It seems contradictory. Perhaps a contradictory image was your intention, but it's not carrying across to me that way.I personally would have found a lighter hand on the makeup to suit the idea better. Still well done, and worth a vote on the positive side.

Great dof, and very interesting "headwear" :-) Especially the tiny tendril in focus to the left.
02/15/2010 12:17:40 PM
stunning! what a Goddess portrait! the green background is exactly perfect with the head dress and your model is stunningly georgeous! I love this if I were voting this would be a 9 or 10

Fantastic shot, lovely model. A bit too much flashlight in her eye but still worth 8
02/15/2010 06:15:17 AM
Has Librodo-like qualities, but I guess you are getting a lot of comments like that? I think that the crop on the bottom is a little harsh.

Beautiful smoothness and yet crisp. She's got such a wonderful eye shape.
