I gave this a 7. I thought the background was really cool. Loved your edgy take on a fashion shoot.

I would say the halo in the processing cost you a top 20, Excellent composition & Color.

Very interesting setup and nicely lit. But there is an odd halo-ing around the model? Very much like a dodge brush on the arms and leg have left a lighter gradient around her?

OK...lighting is awesome...setting and background are superb...I don't like what's happening with the skin on her left arm, but that's being picky...9

Interesting photo but I don't like processing that gives a halo all around the person. It just looks odd.

bizarre BG-- nicely done. Leo's perhaps?

I really like this photo. Im not sure if its the editing, or the background, but it looks like she has a halo around her. Either way, awesome job
