hey hey fromt he critique club!
i really like this image, the only thing that bothers me is the hair strands across her lips and right eye. lighting is very nice, the highlights on her hair are lovely. her gaze is looking right into the viewer, intriguing. the only thing besides that hair that i would change might be the angle of your model's head, tilting it a bit up might help her general appearance
This has the potential to be an excellent portrait, but that tuft of hair below the model's lip looks disconnected and bears too much of a resemblance to a goatee.
Although I rated you high ( E for EFFORT), The overall composition seems a bit erratic. You took the time to place your lights, pose your model, prepare the background, match dress color to blend in with background and yet her hair, facial expression, facial shadows, hair protruding from her chin seem all wrong and bothersome. Good luck.
Ok, on my first look at this I loved the shot, and I still like it, however, upon looking at this again it looks like hair or something distracting around her chin. What is it?
