the bright light is distracting to me. and the face seems underexposed and the tooth highlight is disturbing. doesn't quite work for me.

Returning for comment.
Firstly let me say what a lovely model with a great smile and expressive eyes. There are a few things that I believe would help improve this photo. 1) If you move the model away from the background it will help to blure the background and also lose the harsh shadow lines evident over her sholder and neck. 2) You may have tried for a soft focus but it looks like it is out of focus. 3) The position of the candle in the extreme bottom corner does not really work IMHO maybe in this case it could have been cropped out or better positioned. Still a nice photo and I hope it does well for you.

you guys are having way too much fun with this. i can only imagine what it's going to be like when ya'll start playing with the artistic filters. my daughter's favorite thing to do is to take pictures of her friends than apply the liquify filter...

She looks a lot like the owner of the bar in "Coyote Ugly" :))

There seems to be alot of noise in this picture. I also think it would look better if you had her hold the candle closer so it would shine the light on her face a little.

What's not to love? I like how the candle light shows in the eyes. Perhaps too much glare on the front tooth. Beautiful/stunning model. Good composition.

I like it. However it looks a little out of focus.

Tough lighting....the candle burns out (photographically I mean) and leves the face rather flat. As you can use advanced editing, I think you could have improved this a LOT with post editing, using curves and contrast....also a little dodging. Play around in your editing prog and you'll find you can turn it into something very special

The model must really love the photographer by the look in her eyes. How did you ever get this stunning model to fall head over heels in love with you, anyway? 10

Beautiful model, the light in the corner also works really well, but the focus is a little blurry.
