I agree with Lydia, an even tighter crop could have done a bit more to the image...but you're the one with the ribbon, huge congrats on that! So whose idea was the makeup and how long did it take to do?

I'd have cropped just the eyes down to the tip of the nose... to REALLY make those eyes pop and to fit the challenge even better.

BUT... since your image beat mine, I think you know what you're doing better than I. :D

Congratulations on your RIBBON!

That is a lot of stuff on her face ;-)

Two ribbons of close up faces, you're getting good at this.
