great perspective and having the model looking upwards. I would like to see a softer focus or diffused. I know everyone around here likes those tack sharp photos, but soft focus has its place, and I think this is one.
a different point of view for a portrait...I think the feathers are too pink, they really pull the attention away from your model...her eyes are fantastic...maybe b/w would work well on this
I really like what you're doing here. Love the expression you've captured. I just wish you could see more of her neck or shoulders or something. As it stands now it looks like a head floating on pink feathers. There's just something a little off about it, in my eyes anyways. But I do like what you were going for and I think the colors are great as well as lighting and focus.
Nice to see such an unusual viewpoint and I love your use of the boa to provide texture in the rest of the frame. My only suggestion would be to choose a colour other than pink which does nothing complimentary for her skin tones. And is that sunburn on her forehead or a lighting issue or oversaturation of the colours or something else? One of the best entries for me in this challenge though.
