The image is too dark I think. Also the colors don't show themselves well.

Comment by OneSweetSin:
the focus on this is just a bit to soft and blurry for the image.

This is quite a nice photograph. The warmth is very nice and I can imagine a sadness in the model's eyes. The challenge is "Color" and the color in your photograph is certainly an important element use to evoke feelings in the viewer.

This looks as if there is a texture applied to the image but I suppose it's just some form of pixelation. The texture enhances the moodiness of the picture when applied to the face and clothing but it is very distracting on the wall especially to the left side. The pixelation would generally not do well with most subjects so I suggest that you grab a copy of NeatImage to see whether it would help enhance your other photographs.

The butterfly lighting helps to show all the features of the lady's face. If it were less of a "moody" picture, I would probably object to the multiple catchlights in the each eye but they don't distract me from enjoying the image. The focus is soft, but, again, under these conditions that doesn't distract and seems to add to the moodiness of the picture.

The darkening toward the edges helps to concentrate the eye on the subject. Because of the tilt of the head and the shadows in the lower left corner, I tend to think that the photograph isn't actually straight. The one white spot to the left of the subject draws the eye away. (Too bad we can't spot edit!)

You've accomplished very nice composition leaving enough room to the side of the your model in the direction her body is facing. Also, there is enough room above her to keep from feeling that she's crowded.

I see your note which says, "A photograph of a broken heart. The lighting and the color capture the warmth that was once present." I might have tried to interpret this with a "blue" color for feelings of sadness rather than "the warmth that was once present". Your interpretation is still excellent and, especially with the note, conveys what I think you wanted to convey. Thanks for submitting it and I look forward to seeing your future work.

This would have been better for "Emotion". I don't see how color is the main subject here. It has color, but most photos do, unless they are black and white.
