I really like how her eyes engage me, I don't like the hand in the foreground...it takes away from her

Beautiful eyes! I find the out of focus hand distracting.

That hand in the foreground is really a distraction, but I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't care for foreground blur. LOL

Comment by Covert_Oddity:
This is almost a very good shot, but there are a couple of things bothering me about it. First is the angle, it feels a bit odd, though that could be more of a rotation thing than the angle of the camera. The other is the extra space on the right and bottom of the shot, I think there's just a touch too much empty space there.

Lighting in the right half is good. I did not like the harsh shadows towards left.

Red scarf and lipstick, nicely coordinated.

Shadows are a bit harsh and the legs cut off. Great capture on the face.

Comment by Jedusi:
such a pretty model, and the drape of semi-transparent red works well here.

For me this has potential to be right up at the top but is let down by little technical details like the join of the wall to the carpet, the shadows, and probably chopping her feet off. Getting a large bed sheet or curtain taped to the wall would have given you a continuous background, and the lighting is largely practice - but you know the model still carries this shot strongly. It would be good to see more pictures of her.

Still a nice shot - hope you do well.
