hey man, you got robbed here. i don't really care for most of the top 10 shots in this challenge, because many of them don't show character. your's does and it also shows an attitude. i agree with some comments tho that the eyes are a tad soft and need a catchlight, but otherwise it's nicely done and should of deserved top 10.
greets :) chris
Interesting shot, generated a lot of comments as you can see. To me the biggest problem is the focus - the 85mm lens may just not have had the dof you needed, it appears that you focused on top of her head. I also don't really care for the lighting too much, the overhead hair light just seems a bit too strong resulting in some shadows over her eyes. Still, as I said, an interesting and provocative shot, so I think it stands out in the challenge.
To you and all the comments bellow regarding the focus:
I don't see any problem with it. Additionally, I didn't do it on the forehead but on her eyes. The focus came out exactly the way I wanted, sharp on her eyes / mouth and soft on her hair / ears.

Just not fair. Her eyes and lips are so stunning, that it is impossible to take a bad shot of her ;0) Nice portrait of a gorgeous woman. I hope she does modeling, because she needs too!
I had to look it up: A femme fatale is a sensuous, alluring woman who often leads men into danger ...
Well, that is this femme in spades. Love it. I don't know if you planned the slight blue color case, but it either works or doesn't distract. I haven't decided.
Reminds me of shots by TOY. The thing I noticed first is the focus seems a little soft on the eyes. You've got a beautiful model, you want those eyes to sparkle.
The shoulders seem to be out of focus when compared to the face. I think that if this were advance you could probably correct that a bit by burning the bottom edges a little, but in basic it really draws my attention away from the face.
