Not sure what to do here, except say congratulations on winning! Talk about intimidation. How can I improve a photo that came in first, from a photographer with five first place finishes, ten second place finishes, and numerous third place and honorable mentions? But enough of my whining....
Color, saturation, hue, lighting, contrast are all fantastic! Pose, angle, and cropping are great also.
I like the way the eye is sharp, and the rest goes soft.
If I could find anything that I think would be an improvement, (and I'm really looking hard here), would be that the chin goes a little soft a little quick on the right side; almost blending into her chest. And the other that catches my eye is that her hat is a little too sharp on the front of the bill. I think I would like it a little better soft, more like the other fabric in the piece. Both items are very minor. Would not stop me from giving this a 10.
Congratulations on a very well deserved first place finish. This is just an amazing picture that does not tire the eye. I could look at this every day for year, and still not be bored.
