I think the skin has been processed too much. But, that's my opinion... not the law. *smile*
A beautiful choice of the scarf. The model is wonderful... I would really like to see this without so much processing on the skin. I think it would be a ten. The light and focus are perfect.
at first glance, I thought you had painted her hair with some sort of PP. The scarf just doesnt work well for this woman. The colors are very wrong. I really dont want to sound mean but there are a few factors that bother me with this photo.
In no order... Her makeup is Really bad. It looks like I could carve my name into her makeup! Way too thick.
Then, you have some glittery eye shadow going on which is mainly only visible on the right side because the light washes it out on the left. Make up should be even as possible. I already mentioned the scarf. Her face sort looks oily too. Now I am just really nit-picking but Im a girl, so I can. lol The lipstick color is alright but the nails are pretty bad. If you are going to show nails, they really need to match the make up.
The light is just too hot on her left side.
I don't know if you do this for a living or if you are just getting into these shots. If the latter, then I would really work on it.
Sorry. You can bash me now if you want. But I do wish you luck in the challenge.
