Very nice portrait. I like the tight crop, ponytail adds to it, the lighting on her face and skin tones have a warm glow. Good choice in background color and backlighting. -9-
Great model and the clothing and pose are very well chosen. I'm a bit bothered, though, by the colour clashes in the image--e.g., her lipstick colour and the colour of the background clash to my eye. Also, there are some hot area on her fingers.
A very expressive capture bringing out the sweet character of the subject. A little softer on the background tint would give this image a higher competitative edge. 7
Overall, this is a very nice portrait. A lovely model, and I really like the pose, and the backdrop you've used, it seems to compliment her nicely. I have one minor nitpick, there seems to be just ever so slightly too much shadow around her right eye. Perhaps a well placed reflector could fix that. But still a wonderful photo. Nice job.
