Good composition; lovely shallow DOF. Her eyes look a little blood-shot - might want to touch them up a bit, but overall, beautiful work.

why did you cut off the necklace there? either cut it all off or not at all.
might seem trivial because the rest of the picture is quite nice but takes away from the picture for me

Nice portrait for their (your?) wedding photo album. One thing you could have done better is the cropping. I think you have cropped too strong at the bottom. Showing ab bit more of her shoulder an the full necklace would be better. But thats just me. Good luck for the challenge!

she is stunning, but the bg is really distracting...a shalloer depth of field would have softened it up perfectly...7

if you make her a print i would go in and whiten her eyes and get rid of the red

There's an impressive sparkle to her eyes she works well against the background.
