I KNOW i should have put a flash behind her head for her hair but the model had a time constraint and i couldn't reshoot it.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

The first impression this image makes is one of sitting across a lunchroom table and having someone pull a practical joke...funny, in that way. Except there's no context for it and no real reason (beyond the challenge topic) for the image.

You already know that next time you'll light the background to separate the subject...and someone else has pointed out that the highlights on the orange membrane are blown...so what can I add? I agree with both points. Her face is evenly lit and the skin tones well-rendered. But the highlights in her eyes leave her expression lacking.

Overall, this is a fairly funny and competent image which, given more time, could have been better.

I hope you won't find my comments meaningless...but if you do, feel free to PM me.

it's OK...not sure I understand the rhyme or reason, but I guess that's art! it just lacks crispness to me

Good try. I think a close up on the mouth & orange is more powerful. Eyes draw away from the subject

Interesting composition!

The inner white surface of the orange looks a bit overexposed though. The remainder of the photo looks a little underexposed as well.

The lack of destinction between the hair and the background bothers me a bit, it looks like her face is floating.
