I took this picture on Southwest Blvd. in Kansas City, MO. I had a great time on the shoot, and got some great pictures. I took them for her senior portraits.
I fixed the skin a little, the lighting, and the hue/saturation.

Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)
this is a great image, and i think the skintone and the background work well together to fit the challenge. i honestly can't think of anything to improve this picture. gotta love that 50mm 1.8, huh? very sharp/fast lens. only thing that grabs my attention is the pose, maybe having her right arm up as well, for it looks somewhat uncomfortable and unnatural, but that's nitpicking, because i have to right? :) this is an incredible picture. great job :)
good luck on your future challenges :)

The green brick just feels a little odd. Im not favoring the beads. I like the pose and the angle. Tan doesn't look great on blonds as it washes out their color tones. She would look fab in a pink top with no jewelry. Cute face!
