I like the head scarf, but the image seems a little bit dark. I can see where you've adjusted the lighting to emphasize her eyes...just not quite enough overall IMO (and yes, my monitor is calibrated). :D Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Beautiful pose and model but the lack of contrast brings it down a notch.

Nice shot. A little dodging on/around the eye's and wow. The eye's need more pop.

Very delicate lighting, could be a painting. The headscarf form is fantastic.

I like the post, but the pupils of her eyes look very odd - too black and flat.

I know what you're going for, and I tihnk it'd look better with more light on her eyes/face.

Wow, very STRIKING shot! Perhaps, just a bit lighter?

Great expression and lovely eyes. I'd like to see more contrast and light nuances on her face.

i like this low key image a lot - great expression - makes me ask the question- is it a smile??

I think the dreamy feel of the photo would be benefited by a slight blur of the skin.

Nice look of Frosina, like the clothing, but the lighting is right in my opinion. The white in the eyes are darker than the highlights in the skin, which doesn't seem right. This Grey in the eyes make the photo seem too dark, too negative which doesn't fit the expression. vote=7

I dunno... I just prefer a lighter look / mood for the ladies, especially the pretty ones. Save the dark portraits for old men with lots of wrinkles to give them character. :-)

Anyway, a lighter image and sharper focus on the eyes would get a higher vote from me.
