Greetings from the Critique Club:
This will be a short critique, because I think you achieved what you wanted with this image and it works well.
The only observation I'll make is that a viewer will look into the eyes of the subject first, and it is unsettling to have one pupil missing. It gives something of a vacuous look, which I'm not sure you want to have happen, especially with that complementary title.
That said, continue doing the good work you are doing.

Great high contrast done in sepia. Your talent is growing.

To me there are some good contrast areas (especially around the eye), but other areas seem very similar in color (hair, shirt). Nice portrait though.

Nice portrait shot, although her mouth seems a little awkward. Seems alittle overexposed. 8.

I've seen your other pictures of her, which are terrific, but I don't think this one showcases your talent as a photographer or hers as a subject. The pupil-less eye covered by her hair has an undead, zombie like look to it and her open mouth expression is also not a complementary expression. I do like the toning on the image, but not much else.

I like the glam sense this has. The use of sepia was a smart move. Nice use of contrast for sure.

When she would have looked straight into the camera it might have been an 8 or 9. Now she's looking away and it makes it feel a bit unpersonal. 7

I think I've seen this model before... ;-) She really is beautiful and I think you've captured another good moment. Wasn't sure I liked the crop at first, but it's grown on me. I really like the tones of the shot. Nice job.

a nice high contrast portrait. many I'm seeing are not true high contrast. This definitely qualifies. 9

The contrast in this shot is amazing. You nailed it. AND her look .... bet you get a bunch of views on this one. GREAT JOB

Nice lighting, good contrast, so meets challenge well. Facial expression of the model seems a bit odd...with her looking so off to the side, her hair covers her left eye..making it unappealing.

Love the tint on this. Very nice highlights also. Wanted to see her other eye as the one stands out so much. Good work

IMO if you had pulled the contrast back (-20) just enough to bring the lips back into image the remainder would have looked after itself.....8

Very nice portrait, however I think it would have been even better if we were able to see her left pupil rather than it being hidden behind her hair.
