Very pleased about all the comments - thank you all so much!
This was a hand-held self-portrait taken in my bathroom in front of a window (with trees outside). Lighting was window lighting and I'm pretty sure the bathroom light was on too. The face paint wasn't actually paint but metallic markers. I don't recommend putting those on your face, haha!
I'm very proud of this. I did a lot of detailed post-processing, but I'm also proud of the photoshoot itself.
This is my fifth highest scoring image to date and I am very happy about that, thanks everyone :-D

Quirky and beautifully conceived - you have every reason to be proud, it's a great shot. That soft glow around you makes it seem like you are in some enchanted forest. Hope the marker ink came off eventually!
Woo and HOO!!! Excellent work, young lady! Score is nice - 'grats on that and all - but even more congrats on the thought, work, and talent that went into the making of this picture.
Pose, composition, make-up, all good. The model is pleasingly seperated from the background, and certainly stands out well. My only slight criticism is that the background foliage is a bit 'busy' and somewhat distracting.
Excellent portrait, the eyes are amazing. The light is reflecting a little harshly off the mettalic face paint, particularly on the nose and the colours don't really scream rainbow. However a great image - 7
