I like the head scarf, but the image seems a little bit dark. I can see where you've adjusted the lighting to emphasize her eyes...just not quite enough overall IMO (and yes, my monitor is calibrated). :D Best of luck to you in the challenge.
Nice look of Frosina, like the clothing, but the lighting is right in my opinion. The white in the eyes are darker than the highlights in the skin, which doesn't seem right. This Grey in the eyes make the photo seem too dark, too negative which doesn't fit the expression. vote=7
I dunno... I just prefer a lighter look / mood for the ladies, especially the pretty ones. Save the dark portraits for old men with lots of wrinkles to give them character. :-)
Anyway, a lighter image and sharper focus on the eyes would get a higher vote from me.
