Overall I find this image to be nicely done. Lovely subject and I like the crop and framing with the flowers here.
The lighting is just a bit much. As was said below, a touch softer and I think this would've worked better for you. I also think that a smaller aperture might have been done in order to get the foreground flowers in focus, which is needed for a portrait style image such as this. The yellow fights for my attention from the entire image which wouldn't be a big deal if her eyes were open. However, you certainly get more of an emotive feel with them closed which is nice. There is also a small white speck on her upper lip that could be cloned out.
Overall a very nice effort Steve!
Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image.
I really like the sharpness/colours here (the eyeshadow is fantastic). The only nit-pick I have is that the flowers framing the mouth give a sort of "bearded" look.
That's neat, it's almost like her eyes are the sun for the flowers. Nice combo of colors. Maybe a little more dof so the flowers in the front are in focus more.
Wow - that's some make-up job. lol Nice complimentary colors and good use of a single light source. Focus is right on. Details of the skin show very nicely
