I would like to have seen you go all the way to white on her face, in true high key fashion. However it is a really good shot with lots of possibilities, and I think it should have scored higher.
Nearing the end of 500+ image trawl of flowers and eyes I thought I'd seen enough of them but tis is very special. Tremendous graphic quality and impact. Lovely pose and lighting I really do like this, you deserve to do well.
Potentially a good idea, but this has a "high-key" feel with muted tones... In other words, the face is too grey. Or it's blown out and then darkened... either way it doesn't work for me. - 4
