The stare of this model is haunting to me.
I'm guessing some will say the leaves on the left distract.
I tried cropping them out, but it left the photo far less interesting.
For those who are going to ask, no, that's not the color of her eyes. They actually have some spots of yellow in them also, but I took the yellow out because y'all wouldn't have believed that those babies were real.
Please be nice.
Thanks

Yup, I knew the leaves would be controversial.
The background color and her eye color matching is coincidental. I didn't change the background to match her eyes or vice versa. I just changed the yellow spots in her eyes to the blue color already present in her eyes.

Great portrait, love the colours and how they're all matched up. I think I would prefer a little more space to the right as it feels a little tight on her face. Lighting is good and the eye contact is fantastic
Beautiful model and great matching of the eyes to the background. If the eye colour is unenhanced then they are incredibly striking - if they have had a vibrance boost I might have just backed it off slightly.
I can't decide whether I hate the green leaves or love them. I know I don't like their green competing with her eyes and the BG. I think I might have cropped off most of them and then cloned out the tips.
I had a girlfriend once who had eyes like that. You cant hide anything as they peer into your soul and trap you in a corner. Very intense and beautifully colored. Good luck and congrats on capturing this gripping stare!
With a face like that, the greenery and bg is a distraction. This seems to want either a tighter crop on her face or a looser crop with more context. I vote for full frontal face and hair or at least not cutting off her left. I'm still giving a 6 for that incredible face and its delivery in spite of the comp flaws.
really well done ... the choice of background really makes her eyes pop and I love the hint of green that the plant brings in ... my only suggestion would be to not have cut off part of her necklace ... 8
Nice portrait, although it *almost* looks like she's surprised, but I don't think that was the intention. I think the leaves on the left distract from the shot as well.
It was a sad moment the day she opened her closet and found that she only had one choice left. Thankfully, it was one of her better selections, and perhaps this one would last longer than the others. Perhaps she had learned from her mistakes and could use this one for the rest of her time here.
Perhaps.
So it was she grabbed the last head attachment and began another day in her observation of the human race, under new guise, and fervently hoped that they would not catch on that she was an android sent from a distant planet once again, because shipping for new head attachments was off the charts!
The girl and the plant should be closer to each other or the shot should be a little bit wider, It is a nice clear picture though, nice face that would do well just without the plant.
