Comment by leaf:
it bothers me that the chin is cropped off just tehre, and that it is such a direct front shot. The lighting seems to be perhaps a single sorce from the front, which creates often harsh lighting wth darkness around the eye's and mouth.. good start and idea, execution needs some work.

Comment by Beagleboy:
Intersting portrait, but the bottom part of the face needs to be lightened a bit. I know the emphasis is on the eyes, but the difference in light levels is a bit too much.

Comment by Resusit8u:
A wonderful choice of subject. I do wish the lower part of her face was not so dark, but it works as you have beautifully emphasized her eyes with this technique.

multiple catch lights in the eyes - better with only 1 per eye.

A bit small. You could have enlarged this shot another 95 pixels to reach the 640 pixel size. Interesting colours in the leaf.

Comment by adine:
An interesting subject - stands out amid all these flowers and vivid greens. I wish all the details on the leaf were clearer, And I'm not sure about the composition that crops the leaf slightly on the right - perhaps crop more or include the whole leaf - as is it is not very interesting. I do like the gray background - the textural deails at the top left as a bit distracting - perhaps a little burning (more burning than you've done) or some spot editing. I do like the comination of the bright orange of the leaf and the dark gray of the background.
