Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)

Composition/Lighting : i really like this photo. as far as lighting goes, i believe it's spot on. seems like you had enough light, and i love the softness of this photo. i believe the only think i would do differently is it seems that the neatimage look on the face was too much. it looks "too perfect", which is something i struggle w/ as well. almost plastic or "ken and barbie"-ish if that makes sense? maybe doing what you did on its own level, but taking the opacity down will help show some of the "blemishes", but at a lower rate to where you get the smooth look you ere going for.

Challenge : with an overused technique such as selective desaturation, it's always great to see one that actually uses it well and for what it was meant. i think selective desat for this was a great choice, and very well done. the pastels are really brought to the attention of the viewer, and done so in a great and non-overbearing manner. great job :)

Conclusion : great job, really like this image. you had a great score, and should be proud of this image. very nice job:)

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)

this is amazing. if you did some free transform to pull down the right edge, this would be perfect. not taking away from it, hope that doesn't offend. this really is a great image. good luck! 6
