One of my best models...my bride again.
Cropped, slight color sat., neat image. Pretty much it. Shot in front a black sheet in my home made studio area.

Very reminiscent of the famous National Geographic cover shot. I like the detail and focus on this. IMHO more exposure on the eyes may have added to the shot, as the burst of color seems to stem more from the head-dressing rather than the eyes. Yet, the eyes are the main focal point of the shot. Just my humble opinion, nice shot nonetheless... 8
Nice title. I had come into this challenge expecting to feel negative about shots that used a color surround to emphasize a colorless subject, but this shot has sown me it is a perfectly valid approach if used well. Which it certainly is here...
The focus seems to rest on the nose and not the eyes, and you really needed a bit more light on the eyes. I would also suggest cropping in the sides to put the focus on the eyes and the color.
With the vivid green of the head covering, the eyes kind of sink back. They seem slightly out of focus to me. I'd rather see the eyes un-really green and in sharp focus. Just my taste.
