Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! I have always been afraid to enter ~but it wasn't as painful as I thought! I've not edited this way with a "high-key" /"cross process" before, so it was new to me. It's interesting how the objective eyes pick up on things I hadn't even noticed! I had one with her smiling, but it didn't seem to be as interesting....Thanks againg for all the feedback!

nice lighting... good work.

gorgeous - just gorgeous ( the fact that she needs her roots doing actually accentuates the image because it blends so well with the cerise flowers)
Post actions
I likethe exposure on this and her eyes look awesome.
Post actions
beautiful
Post actions
No, she's not pretty - she's really beautiful. So is your portrait! Very well done!
Post actions
Beautiful portrait. Like the processing.
Post actions
You did everything to present best way most beautiful features of this model - her face and eyes. That part I think is presented perfectly. However (to my taste!) few other things included are to some degree distracting. I read the title, I look at whole image, and I feel uncomfortable to say this is the best. But I want to :) I think potential is not completely realized here.

Another wonderfully over-exposed portrait in a single challenge. I'm in awe of your skilful control here. - bumping

effective high key image +1

Cool... lovely bokeh. I hope the high key works for you on the score.

Normally I dont like the overblown highlights, but I find it works well here.

Very nice hi key picture but maybe a tad overexposed or brightened, but still a very lovely portrait. I sort of wish the pink flowers were not so bright as they draw my eye away from that beautiful face. Maybe a slight crop on top would make them less apparent. 7

I think this could have benefited from a little tighter crop, or removing that pink bit at the bottom right

this really is gorgeous, but the strand of hair over her left eye is very distracting. it seems to come between me and any connection i might mab=ke with the photo. normallly i would score this pretty high, but the hair ruins it for me

I love the blown highlights in this photo and the eyes are beautiful! 10

excellent high key shot, the colors work well here 7

Beautiful eyes and the hi key works well here. The funky colours in her roots bother me. Also the flowers growing out of her head are a little distracting. IMO

Very nice high key portrait.

Gorgeous portrait. The softening really pops the eyes and lips, the flowers are a nice frame.
Post actions
Nice and light portrait. Beautiful colors.
Post actions
love the high key feel to this
Post actions
The near high-key tones really give this portrait a dreamy qaulity. You're matching of colors from the models eyes and make-up with the plant and flower are quite clever.
Post actions
Gorgeous, the eyes have it!

What a beautiful model resulting in a beautiful result. Only nit pick is it looks a little overexposed. The flowers add a great touch.
Post actions
Sure is but that ain't Molly Ringwald! Nice soft focus and very vibrant
Post actions
All great but for her expression. Even a slight smile would help this immensely IMO. Great colors and lighting though.
Post actions
Great colors, DOF. The twig coming in on the right is a bit strange

Nice use of color to highlight the photo

Lovely. The high key is great for this shot, with just enough color to make it really pop!

Wonderful light! This is breathe taking.

too bright, i get that you wanted to be bright but you overdone it i think :)

Like the high-key effect. The green leaves right bottom detract. Overall, very well done.

Well composed with very vibrant colors. The whites outweigh the darks but it doesn't bother me a whole lot...
