I think you have done a wonderful job, great light and color. Like how the earing matches the hair also, so it deserves a good score also. Nice use of the thrids.
good pose and a nice smile, coupled with suitable soft treatment.
but I think I should point out that your JPEG compression artifacts are showing. They are quite obvious on her right shoulder. Other than that, great shot!
I saw this on Daily Awards and voted high (don't know why it wasn't ranked higher?!) I think it's a great shot of a pretty girl and a pleasing expression 8
I love everything about this except the horrible pink carpet which is such a contrast to those emerald greens...perhaps black would have been better??? Beautiful face, smile, pose, perspective, outfit...it's just that pink carpet...
