Hey, this rocks! Very creative and I like the angle. :)

I think your score suffered for the slight blurring and how her hair disappears into the background.

On your camera (mine, too), try this: hold up your hand where you expect your eyes to be, press the shutter halfway, then press the manual focus lock. Then set the timer to take 10 shots. It's very hard to get your face in exactly the right position, esp. that close up, where slight changes make large focus differences. But taking 10 shots gives you a better chance of nailing one of them.

I regularly take multiple shots like this.

Also, since you seem to be holding something interesting, I'd suggest using a smaller aperture (larger f-number) and getting that in focus, too.

Really neat shot. You must have a lot of fun on Halloween. The lighting is perfect and the idea is fantastic.

I love the idea, the model is great, However, I would have loved to see something a bit more 'gross' in her hands chicken hearts money toes, something. Also a stronger down angle would be nice and even more dramatic of lighting.

Nice lighting on the face, but I think the hands need a little more, to really make what she is holding to stand out. I like the perspective you used.

I think she could use some dirt or something on her face because the makeup looks to drawn out and not like shes actually a witch who mixes potions all day. I really love the angle here and the setup though.
