 The model looks tired... well because it was about 1AM. The light is done by a candle which she is reaching for. Lowered the amount of Red, Yellow, and Magenta, sharpened, and adjusted levels.

From the Critique Club

Very nice pose and composition along with good warm tone. I think you did good with the set up and processing. Even though the soft focus is good I think the eyes would of been better if they were in focus because they make the picture. Your model is speaking volumes with her eyes making me want to know what she is looking at and thinking.

Being that this was an advanced editing challenge I feel you could of used a few more tool available to enhance your photograph. Such as selective sharpening and more.

Overall I think your photograph is very good with a little more tweaking could of been great. It does show that you are a very capable photographer showing your ability to compose the photograph is such a good light.

Keep up the good work and take advantage of advanced editing when able to bring out the wow factors in your photograph. I know it scored in the mid 5's but your photograph has the elements to be a 6+ photograph.

I also feel you did a great job meeting the challenge and the title is good. I hope you find the critique helpful. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
SDW

Nice composition. The color balance seems a bit off though.
