I like everything but the hair under her chin,seems to be the first thing that catches my eye.The color is beautiful and the silloute has lots of character
Image looks over saturated, and too sharp. There is some mild posterization going on as well... none of which I think really help this image. The composition, on the other hand, is very nice.
a couple of spots could have been cloned out. Also (and I don't like to say it) those stray hairs in front of her chin make it look as if she's throwing up.
Otherwise I like it (but you probably hate me by now anyway) :¬/
It's a nice photo. Seems heavily processed (the extreme vignette), and without "hope" in the title the connection to the challenge would be a little thin.
