Just from the 3 comments I've read, you're getting the idea that nothing will please everyone. I gave this a 6. In the context of this challenge, that meant you'd chosen something that interested me, and done a pretty good job with it. And I still feel that way.
Unless this is the full frame, try a few different crops - looser, landscape, etc. And then post them in a thread in the forums and invite comment.
Keep it up! |

I think you are a little too close to your model or too zoomed in. I don't feel like there is any breathing space for the viewer. Your light isn't too bad, but there seems to be a dark area straight on.
Focus is good and she is a nice looking model. Just keep foolin with your lights. Studio is a little tricky. |

| Hi. I was one of your 5's. I think your tones and focus are good in this shot. However, the combination of the close-up and the tight crop really puts her face in my face, and it's not comfortable. Plus she's looking right at me. She's a lovely girl, but the processing is very realistic. Maybe a little too realistic? To me, the key to improving the impact of this picture would be to back off, let the viewer have a little perspective on the model. Then you can consider whether to soften it up a touch, or give it an interesting twist of some sort. Just my 2c. Have fun experimenting :) |

Technical: the composition is good, the lighting works too...
Creativity: it's not overly creative but still a good shot...
Score: 8 |

| Nice sharp focus on the eyes - I can see her contact lenses :) One thing I would try and improve are the hotspots of flash reflections from parts of her skin. |

| I like the framing and the B&W conversion, but could I suggest applying a little gaussian blur? This is just too sharp for a portrait. Most models will not appreciate having their pores clearly visible. |

| she's pretty...I would have liked this in colour as her eyes look amazing...the crop is a little too uncomfortably close...she has a peaceful face and you captured that well here |
