Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hello! This model has amazing eyes, they are so direct and look right through the camera and really make you notice her. Very nice capture on her face and the expression. I love the coloring on the face but as you go down the neck something happens, this orange blotch shows up and makes you step back a sec and say, "What the heck is that?" Not sure what happened there, if it's a lighting glitch or editing afterwards.

Also the background is a bit distracting and fighting for attention in both color and design, the orange, the purple, the line there is all drawing away from that lovely face. Perhaps a tighter crop on just the face would make this more dynamic?

Again, a lovely young lady and wonderful capture on her face. Hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges!

Ouch! The contrast is killing me over here. The skin tone is way off too... actually, the skin is bleached by the light.

intense, striking image.
If the DOF could be slightly deeper, it might have been even better.
still, nice work.

Nice lines and I like the composition. It is a little overprocessed for my taste, but it suits the mood of the portrait. 6 from me.

Seems to be much too saturated. The result is a bit distracting, but still an interesting, original image. -5

I like the shallow dof and the way the focus falls away on the clothing. not sure about the orange thing in the background. maybe needs to be more out of focus, it is a bit distracting to me as is. all in all though good picture. sorry I can't vote though.
