The eye on the left being soft is just a little distracting to me.

Hi, Critique Club here...

I love the idea of this shot. I like the "photographer" giving direction.

What holds this back for me is
1) why is the flash going off, it's inconsistent with what's happening. Someone could be testing the flash, but whoever
that would be should be paying attention to it.
2) the only thing in focus is the MUA's shoulder
3) while I can live with the fingers being cut, I can't with the eye chopped in half.

So, for shots to do well on DPC, on has to pay attention to the little details because the audience here doesn't miss much.

Once again, this is a stellar idea and I would definitely want to try it again if I were you.

If I had voted in this challenge, I would have given this a 6. If the issues with the MUA didn't exist, an 8.

It's a shame her right eye is slightly out of focus. We probably wouldn't notice if it wasn't for the perfect focus you have on her left eye. Nice job

Tahammül? Tolerate? She has beautiful eyes, for sure.
Very sharp and nice DOF. The corner of her right eye falls slightly in the DOF zone. Somehow I was expecting that eye would have been completely sharp as well.

Hmmm. The eyes are incredible. But this shot seems more about them than about her headwear.

A different take on the perspective theme but it doesn't really grab me. 6

Greetings from the critique club!

I'm glad I've come back again to this image. I just disabled the calibration on my monitor for now because it tends to make my monitor a bit on the dark side and it really helped me appreciate this image. I still agree that the chair does get lost in the scene however based on its position in the image your eye does find it.

I personally like more contrast in my skies in monochrome but that's me being nitpicky and its still nice the way it is. It would be nice if the rocks in the background had more detail but I am guessing that wasn't an option at this time of day.

Overall a great image. I would like to see what this looked like in color.
