Reminds me of a "backstage" shot, nice and moody. I'd have used a much darker blue or black for the outer border.

I like the feeling that you achieved here with the (painted) facial expression and the blue background and soft lighting. I do believe though that it is a little TOO dark and could benefit from cropping a tad bit off the right. The white part of your border is distracting and too high key for the rest of the shot.

I don't particularly like the composition. I would have liked to see a bit more of the straw in front.

Comment by Konador:
There are a lot of jagged lines here, probably caused by resizing and sharpening too much. Try using a different resample method such as bicubic. ALso adding some contrast would give the image more "pop"

Very nice, but a little light for my taste. The other weed photo scored a 10, this one a 9! (so you're in my top 15)

Send in the light while you're at it. A very good concept, but wasted by poor lighting, and I don't feel like there's enough contrast between dark and light tones to pass as moody. The bright colors could have made a dazzling entry with more light in the room. The obvious artifacts around the hair and arms don't help, either.

This would be a really nice portrait or even a poster if it were cropped a bit more on the right and the lighting were a touch brighter, so we could see more detail of the sad expression. :o)

Nice shot. Would have liked the large strand in the foreground to be lit though.
