Great composition and lighting, but too many props. Loosing the Lufthansa lanyard and the plastic bracelet would have made for a better photo, even if the airport theme wouldn't have been obvious.

Feeling a bit defensive? ;-) Don't worry, your photo stands on its own. The lighting is excellent, really focuses the attention on the face and horn, while still leaving enough on the background to add depth. If it gets voted down by others, I'd expect it would be for lack of "wow"-factor, rather than for subject matter. 8

Uhm, what happened in postprocessing? It's hard to determine if there's a good photo underneath, right now it's just a mess of way-oversharpened and over-smoothed regions.

Very good use of natural light, and a great job on the makeup! Just a couple of things that I find distracting: that one leaf in front of her hair, and the hairs that seem to be caught in her eyelashes.

When you loose the hair texture like this, then you know you've gone way too far with NoiseNinja/NeatImage

Good idea, but the frame's gotta go. Also, I think the composition would be stronger with less foreground clutter, cropping somewhere around the lower balcony.

Cute expression, but the post-processing has problems. There are jaggies/pixelation around the eyes and what looks like compression artifacts around the outline of the shoulder.

Very cute! You know you're allowed to edit out sensor dust in basic editing?

Normally I'm not a fan of this much 'grunge', but I have to admit it almost works for this otherwise excellent image
