greetings from the critique club:

for a portrait shot, this is very well done. the model has a good pose and a good environment surrounds her.

i'm not sure how well it fits the zen challenge. although it does seem peaceful, it also seems posed and rigid. using a person in the challenge might need to be done less formally.

the color is good, if a bit oversaturated. the face in particular looks unnatural in its tone. if i had to guess, i would say the soft focus is probably what really killed your score here. it's difficult to pull off well, and at DPC a lot of people just consider it "out of focus" instead and score accordingly.

This is a really nice portrait, but I think you used too much soft light on her.

I like the soft light in this (gassian blur?) But you model looks like she just walked out of a health food store and her makeup needs work

Post processing overdone on this one, it looks too unnatural, but you can improve it IMO
