Wonderful capture. The lighting is terrific, I like the idea of the scarf (or whatever it is). The only thing keeping it back is the dark blob to the left which both cuts into the face and is still visible against the background. Still a highly rated photo.
Wow, I want those eyes! Lucky girl! I'm thinking that perhaps, the lighting was just a tad too strong on the left side of her face in this shot. I have the same problem with my shots too.
looks very similat to ones who win last time.. it was your intent? ;) nice lit but it is too evident that you cut off the backgroup on the left of the shoot.. otherwise it could be more than 7 for me..
Maybe it was intentional for her eyes (which are beautiful) to be soft? My preference would be for crisp sharpness in her eyes but that's just my taste. I like the tones!
I really like the jumper like that, and those eyes are stunningly beautiful...just lacks a little bit of sharpness and the lighting is a little too flat for me, but a lovely composition overall 7
Either you are experiencing a problem with posterizing or you did your editing on a monitor that is set too dark. Turn up the brightness and look just to the left of the face. The strong black area looks like it was made with a circle brush.
