A catch light in the eyes would have really enhanced this.

Just not a portrait.

Well Elvi this is pretty eye catching! Love the look. Hopefully your style will catch on with DPC voters. Gets an 8 from me.

Looks sharp and contrasty. The exposure at the bottom is a little dark for me however. I would brighten it up a bit or make it darker if going for a more silhouette look. Also, I'm not sure about this composition. I would have tried this as a portrait so that you got more of the sky and that left cactus wouldn't be scrapping the top. As is you lose any sense of scale. Just my thoughts.

To be honest when I first looked at this I spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out what that is in the background. The photo is really good btw. I particularly like the lighting and the pose makes this one stand out, IMO. I hope this does well. Good luck!

Just a little too soft for me. The eyes and lips should be more in focus.

Great capture especially the eyes. The off-centered composition also works. The only thing I don't like is the shadow in the right corner. Anyway, just my thoughts. Good luck!

This is a classic! It looks very natural almost candid like.
