This shot easily made my top20 of the 358 entries in the challenge. Has all the qualities a great portrait has. You did a really great job Mia. Much better than a 6.5 in my mind. +fave
Mia, this is stunning -- like all your portraits are! She is BEAUTIFUL! I'm surprised this one is n't on the front page. She is so beautiful -- and the natural lighting on her face is exquisite.
Congratulations on just taking another fabulous portrait!
Exciting and well-handled lighting. Great expression too. I think you could do more with the framing, perhaps changing the aspect ratio so that there's more darkness to the right. Good shot.
A very pleasing portrait of a pretty model. The pose is really appealing, very natural. The subtle post-processing has also produced a very natural and fresh looking photo. The only negative is the distracting object behind the girl's hair.
