This is perfect! I always get this kind of image in my mind about alternative medicine and alternative healers. Great job. Congratulations on another top 20 placer!
i like nice and soft lighting, models calm expressions, and flow of clothes. a very nice portrait. may be it is some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder but i keep wanting to reach out and straighten models hands (bent a little left from viewer's side) hehehe :)
I really enjoy the concept here, and the colours are nice. But a couple things distract me. Her hands being off center, her posture seems to be hunched over to much, and the transparency of her dress. Seeing her leg/calfs is distracting I think it really throws the image.and the horizontal is tilted from knee to knee. I think if these few things are cleaned up straighted up you would have a really nice image. Maybe also get rid of the white thing on the lower right side of the image as you are looking at it.
excellent work in colors, sharpness. the only thing that keeps distacting me is the yellow piece of cloth to the left side. this unbalanced your composisiton.
I like the costume. I might have worked the lighting a bit (either fully smooth or fully high contrast). I don't like that her skin is highlit, but the rest of the shot isn't. 6
