Has this subject posed for two different photographers in this challenge. I may be wrong. Regardless, this is a wonderful capture. 8

Excellent job! If I had to be picky I'd mention the reflection in the eyes as a bit distracting. Still a top scorer for me.

A technically flawless photograph and indeed it is a mesmerising result. My only criticism is that is seems a contrived, set-up image (as I'm sure it was) ... it just doesn't feel real-world to me, but that's Steve McCurry's fault. Still, an expert job. 7

Beautiful, simple and effective. Greta focus on the eyes, great light. Top 10.

Overall a wonderful shot. I think it would have been even better if her pupils were a little smaller to see more of the color of her eyes.

Nice portrait...solid 6 in my book...

Very nice skin :P. Just realized that the catchlights in the eyes are a little spread out. Also, I'm not liking the green color and how it goes with the gray of the background. Perhaps a darker shawl would work better? Also, I'm noticing (sorry so late :P) a pixelation/unsmoothness near (her) right lip...

Technically perfect. Love the green color against her face, great focus and well composed. Not crazy about the gray background compared to the rest of the photo.

The green scarf compliments her eyes perfectly. Great shot!

Beautiful eyes! Nice shot!

Why do women keep wearing head covering in portraits, is the phototgrapher looking for color to complement the subject.I feel I am only seeing half the woman, but then again this is a good photo...9

I'm getting bored with shawl photos, but good lighting and skin tines. The reflections in her eyes are distracting, The backgroung could have been darker.

Another captivating exotic shot. I love her intense eyes.

Nice Picture. Love the green in this shot, really compliments her.

The subject is great, I'd have composed it differently...

Her eyes are wonderful. Nice placement in the shot. I think I might've chosen a different colored head covering that's a bit more complimentary to her olive complexion. Maybe a deep red would have been nice. Pretty lip color. Her skin tones appear natural. I might have done a little work under the left side of the nose. Overall, a nice capture.

looks similar to the last portrait winner... something unique would get higher scores from me... i love the expression in the eyes though
