Hi, Critique Club here...

This is a very nice photograph! 13th in a free study is testament to that.

My critique of this echos those already mentioned regarding the blurry flower encroaching on her face. I think without that, this would have scored in the 7 range. While it's certainly your vision as the artist, I don't understand the eyes closed. I don't know that I would have voted differently if they were open, just saying.

Congrats on a really nice effort.

Such a beautiful well processed photograph with gorgeous colors of a beautiful girl. But...the blurry flower in front of her forehead is slightly distracting to me.

I think this is a great shot, and I pretty much like everything about it except for that one blossom on her forehead.

Nicely done, but could have had more impact with her eyes open and without that one blurred flower stealing center stage.

beautiful color range and tones. The flowers have encroached too far onto her face though.
