I'm sure you're getting comments on the hair coming down over the eye. I kind of like it. Your crop has too much background for me, and the upper torso area is a bit too dark. The dodging or (if it wasn't dodged), the lighting on the cheek at the viewer's left is a little strong too. This does do a great job of capturing a sombre mood though, which I like. 8

V�, afhverju vann þessi mynd ekki?!?, rosalega flott mynd hjá þér. Lýsingin er alveg frábær, sérstaklega á krossunum. Flott hvernig þeir verða ljósari.

I love this composition, but just too dark for me. Love the blurred background and her eyes are superb. first vote was a 5, but the more I look the more it captures me, bumped to 8

Comment by brownt:
I like this sharpness, clarity and tones of this shot. Not too sure about so much space on the RHS though, my eyes are drawn to the light area instead of her face. 8

Beautiful model and nice composition! I might have tried for a shallower DOF. The background, although blurry, still seems a bit busy.
