Very nice portrait and clever and apt title: Problem: The black areas of the fan merge into the model's black dress and the result is that we can't see where the fan begins and ends, unfortunately.

Your title works for your photo (yeah). I like the black against the pink and green of the flowers. A nice portrait all in all.

If the fan is the subject, it should be the focus. Damsel is nicely sharp however.

I think hte concpet is good but the black on black does not work for me as I can not really see the fan aginst the dress.

Absolutely gorgeous Damsel and an extravagant fan indeed. Perfect match with the challenge. I love it.

a couple of nearly trivial observations, but as observations is what this site is all about... The model sees to have a bit a green cast above her eyes and along the right side of her neck. I might have brought her up and to the left in the frame, but maybe not...

All in all, I love the shot.

The unconventional angle works very well. Lighting is fantastic on the face.
