what a beauty

And drop dead gorgeous. But I'll try not to award "beauty" points. Okay, it is a very feminine picture which does hint at fragility. There isn't too much in the expression that outwardly suggests that mood but the photo has that feel to it.
The high key is a nice look, the photo is well exposed, and I like the wisps of hair and negative space. If I have to find a nit-pick, it's the apparent shadow just off the shoulder that could not be cloned out or brightened like the rest.

Lines

Strange, you always see these lines at sunrise / sunset when the light is so warm and reddish...this is different because the light has a much cooler looking tone. Unusual and very cool.

Dramtic lighting and very moody. The negative space works really well in this shot.

Crisp focus and beautiful, soft background color that's very complimentary. Usually I'd want to see more space in front of the beak but this time such a tight crop works pretty well. Love it.

Gorgeous colors and great exposure for a tricky situation like that.

This is beautiful. The shallow dof here is fantastic to throw those beautiful reds and greens into softness, with the texture left just to the center. Nice!

This picture actually looks HAPPY, if that's possible. Great job.
