::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Nice hi-key shot. I like it.

Composition:
I'd like to see a bit more negative space in this image. Loosen the crop some and move the eye to a stronger part of the composition.

Subject:
It's an eye. It's right there. Can't miss it :-)

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color and focus look good.
Light is nice. I'd like to see it about a half a stop more to completely blow the highlights on the forehead.

To grow its vote?:
Clumps in the eyelashes stand out to me. I'm no makeup artist, so I don't know how to fix that. Also, I think the eye-liner could be darker.

Summary:
Cool shot, very punchy. Good work.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

Much detail is lost in the overexposure, but this still has some punch. Interesting.

I like the high contrast but think that it may be a little too overblown.

I am very partial to blown out photos. The voters will probably love it or leave it. I hope it does well.

Sharp focus on the eyelashes....just wish the eyeball itself was as sharp.
