Oh, I'd love to know the story behind this.
Nice image, meets the challenge. Needs a little post-processing to make it strong and effective, but still. a good one.
Nice color, great background and composition with subject "off center". Since the hand is so large in comparison to face it would have been less distracting to have it in better focus maybe? Actually I would have given it 3 more points without the hand... I don't see how the hand added to the photo - it distracted.
The girl's face is so beautiful, if there was a more bend to the hand to either be framign the face, or conforming to it's curves it would be adding more three-dimensionality. It looks a little as if the camera person put up their hand to stop the woman from comming any closer/too flat. Beautifully soft colors though.
Intriguing image. She is beautiful, and the pose and composition are interesting. But it's lacking a little "punch", and I'm not sure what sense this is meant to represent.
