A Touch of Monet

Comment by FranziskaLang:
Nice backlighting. Love the composition, too. Two things I would've tried to do (considering this was an advanced editing challenge) would be to clone out the light area right at the top, and also either not crop so tightly at the bottom (since the reflection is such an integral part of the image), or, if you have to crop tightly to get other distracting stuff out of the way, maybe some cloning there, too. Having said all that, of course, I don't know what the surroundings looked like so all of these suggestions may be impossible. They are just impressions of what would have improved this particular photo from my point of view.

Nice composition, crop and color. A little grainy though. Great interest.

good potential but really looks underexposed by about a stop or so

I like: the pose,background,face expression and the model.
Don't like: lighting,it is kind of even but not intense enough.

Comment by coolhar:
seems a bit dark toward the top of the pic, maybe you could have cropped off about half of the space above her head

Very emotional in unusual light. Looks like model has been crying to me.

Nice, but the lack of lighting is holding this photo back.
