I have to say that because of her soulful look and the pattern of this make up it looks more like bruises. I'm sure that's not what you were going for here - maybe a case of where being in b&w doesn't work.
Would like to see a little more contrast. But would also like to see a little more light in her eyes to make them look alive (ask about "catch light" if you want to know more).
Cute. :) I think she needs to be more perfectly lit though, especially those big gorgeous eyes. The light is a bit flat, which detracts overall for me. 5
I love everything about this but the light. I would have liked to see more of a highlight in the eyes. However everything else about the photo is stunning. I love love love the facial expression and the hair. I could even argue that the darker eyes work with the photo, but I do love beautiful light. So I think that a 9 in in order, really nice job!
