Greetings from the critique club.

Let me start by saying that this is a great photo. If you had a series of 30 of these of different people I think you could hang them at an art house.

Lighting: The lighting is even and smooth in the face. I love the softness. I think that the top of the head is a little burnt out which could have probably been helped in ps.

Composition: Almost perfect. I love the fact that it is so tight it makes the customer almost uncomfortable. That friendly face puts you to ease though. I feel like if you had tilted down just a little bit it could have helped. I think there is a tension created by not seeing the full curve of the collar.

Editing: Other than the burned out highlights, I think that this photo is perfect. One doesn't really "notice" the editing which makes it a success in my book.

Great take on the challenge. Great photo. If I knew this lady, I would order a huge print. Watch over exposure and take more beautiful pics.
