*Greetings from the Critique Club*
I've already commented on this image, but I'll try to illucidate further...
First of all, I scored this image an 8 in the challenge. Secondly, I'd like to say that I believe it met the D&L challenge both well and in a unique way. I also think that the title you chose actually hurt your score.
The "Dark & Lovely" monicker suggests an intimate familiarity with the model (IMHO); I could go into an extensive diatribe about the title, but will acquiesce to the most hospitable use of the words...
IMHO, the model is both "dark and lovely" - and aptly named. I think the photograph has a lot of merit on a number of levels.
Composition - excellent. Great crop, as it leads the viewer into the shot well.
Focus - very good - nice and sharp. Good DOF too.
Color - great tonal range. Vivid without becoming unnatural.
She reminds me of Eartha Kitt (I think it's the eyes). Very good capture. Nice work!
EDIT: For my own stupidity...

| Very interesting and colorful shot. It really holds your interest, because you can't quite make out her expression or tell what she's thinking. Great focus and crop. |

| Very nice shot! A little less drastic angle on her may have helped as the facial features seem to fade out of the DOF. Still, a high scorer. Good luck! |

| I really like the boquet and the subject is great, but I would like to see a better angle on the subject showing more of the face. |

| Had the woman's face been turned slightly more toward the camera I would have scored this a 10. Beautiful color and great crispness 8 |

| Great capture for this theme. My only negative is the arm infront of the chin is distracting. BOL 7 |

| She is pretty, Nice sharp image and the lighting on her skin is perfect. Just wish I could see more of her face, or at least an eye. Just my preference. |
