Looks like you have a great subject here! For me the lighting on the face is way too harsh and I am not sure I like the orientation. Maybe this would have been better with the girl in portrait format rather than horizontal? :o)

This is cute. Lighting seems a little harsh making the photo seem a little flat (lacking depth in contrast). JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.

hair lovely but it takes your eyes away from the portrait of the face.

This is such a cute gal! I like the pose and expression, too. You may want to experiment with adding some contrast, or fiddling with your mid-tone levels to add some richness to the shot. Good luck!

The face is blown away, but it has no hard contrast feel to it.

heavy lipstick on such fresh beauty is disturbing. I think I would have had this upside down ie. head pointing to the bottom. The sideways composition is neither here nor there. Maybe also a tighter crop off the chest area...dunno just my opinion.

Portrait orientation please. A bit more contrast, and less brightness maybe.

sideways?

You might want to check your submission and if it is turned the wrong way, unsubmit the photo, correct and resubmit
