Greetings from the Critique Club!!
Congratulations on a beautiful portrait! The way the fire lights her face is so flattering and intriging. The colors are beautiful, although the whites of her eyes seem a bit dark (from the smoke perhaps?). The focus on her face and the way the light highlights her hair is perfect.The fire is a bit too bright for this photo, maybe if you had cropped out a little more of it, or somehow darkened it. Overall, it gives the viewer a warm, gentle feeling. Fits the challenge perfectly.
Good Job and keep shooting!!

| A scene from a movie I've never seen. And for that, I really like it. |

Very nicely lit. I would've cropped out the fire and zoomed in closer for greater impact.
Good Luck!

| Neat image, yet the left half of it would have been better cropped off. |

| Super picture! The only downfall I see is the bleaching out of the fire...I don't know how you'd do it any differently but I still think the picture is great (maybe some selective cropping could help a bit with fire) |

| Very nice warm tones. The use of existing light is excellent |

| Beautiful lighting. Catchlights in her eyes and on her ring are perfect. Overall it sets a wonderful mood that is reflected inyour title. Even though the fire is so bright that it could be the center of attention, you have captured her face in a way that makes sure that the focus remains where it belongs.Very well done. 10 |

| Although I find the large fire area a little distracting, I like the overall composition and the coloring on the model's face. Nicely done. 8 |

| Very nice light and focus. But I don't see the need for the left hand side at all. Although I guess you wanted it to convey the mode of relaxation, it's just a blown out patch of white and is more distracting. |

| I like this photo! I am just not sure about the foreground, I get the feeling it is a campfire, but there is no real definition that can confirm that idea. |

| This is stunning! Using the firelight for lighting really gives her a natural glow. Well Done and good luck in the challenge! |

| Nice shot. I like the way the fire lights her face. Gives that warm feeling. And she does have a nice relaxed look. Seems content. An all around nice picture. |

| Beautiful. This shot is wonderful, maybe if you had cropped to give a little less of the fire on the left hand side which I find keeps drawing my eye away from the girl's face, goodluck |

| The fire takes away from the photo. Try laying a piece of paper over the left half and see how you like it. I love the glow from the fire but we don't need to see it. This is a portrait of a beautiful girl not a campfire.....limit distractions! |

| Makes me want to put on a sweater and start a fire....in a firepit of course...love the imagery and the model offset to the right gives a sense of depth. In a challenge full of close ups..this is a pleasant diversion. Great Job. |

| Cropping to keep the right half of the image would have dramatically improved the image. Pretty girl. Nice mood. Good exposure. Left half undoes all the good of the right. |
