Not sure the processing has not done the model any favours.

Lost in her thoughts...what is she thinking? Nicely done

Comment by BrennanOB:
Nice framing and colors, but the lighting on her face gives her a bit of a scowl and some odd shadow lines that are unflattering. The post processing is good for the most part but the masking around her head is a bit sloppy, leaving a halo of brightness, showing the darkening of the background. I know those dodge lines don't bother some, but for me I wonder if it would not have been better to either cut the dodge in all the way, or feather it out so the fall off was more gradual. As is i find it one of the most dominant elements int he image.

This might have done well in the ROT Blue. Nice photo.

I like how the seagull and the girl are looking in the same direction. Must be something interesting over there.

I don't like the large halo effect around the girl.

Nice composition but I find the halo really distracting.

I know I'm not the first or the last to say it, this is really (really) overprocessed.
The tonality (tonemapping) and the halo around the girl is not appealing.

She has quite the "glow" about her, apparently from post processing?
