Avuxeni is my usual screenname, that I use in other sites. It is a Tsonga word that means warmest greetings. (Tsonga is the language I learned in the Peace Corps.)And yes, my lipstick is a little crooked. I was in a hurry because the camera battery was dying.
My sweet husband helped me with the border and the lighting. He's awesome!

the apple green bakground is good, its nice to blend it with your red lips...a little overexposed in your forehead, dont its just a minor comments, it does not affect your score...good work ...good luck..
beautiful. :) I love the tiny and dark shape of your mouth, reminds me of cinnamon heards. The highlights of your hair are also just lovely. :) I love the contrast of background against the lips.
I love the background color with the very pretty white skin. I love the pose. The lighting might be a tad harsh but it could work with me if it is what you intended. High-key photography. ;-) Good luck.
What a lovely woman! I do however, think that the lighting is too bright here and that it's washed out your beautiful creamy white skin. It appears it was your intention to have your skin contrasted with the background and your lips and I think that was a good strategy, just not carried out effectively.
Also, I think the photo effectively displays your essence in that the choice of a chartruse background and your stare into the camera tells me you are bold and spirited. If this was your intention, then you have accomplished that goal.
That said, this is one of my favorite photos of the challenge and I am rooting for you to finish highly. Good luck to you.
Very stark photo. I like the blown out sections a lot, they make your eyes and lips stand out more. I don't really care for the lime green background, but that's a personal preference :)
Hi again :-) I know this face well don't I! You are very photogenic. I like the choice of color for the background, it matches your hair wonderfully - 9.
Nice work. The green background is a little overbearing for me, bt that's just me!! I like the way you are looking directly at the camera with a natural look on your face. Nicely done.
