And a beautiful young lady she is. I realize you were probably going for a soft focus here but it came out more blurred to me than a soft effect and the hair in her face is really a bit of distraction. Did she just come out of the shower, hence the wet, tousled look? It's a classic pose and well done, just needs a bit more focus and a bit more light, it comes across a bit dull on that aspect. A 5

Lighting: Evenly lit, but with a slight cast and no catchlight to give the eyes some expression.
Pose: Works, but the motion blue is distracting. A soft focus would have worked better.
Background: Her hair is the main element of the background and works well.

Sorry, but this looks more like a quick snapshot of her after a shower than a planned and posed portrait.

Good attempt at a moody. evocative look; on my monitor it could use maybe just a touch more contrast.

Skin tones and background go together very well! Nice subtle lighitng that brings out depth without blown out highlights. Nice soft focus. Kudos

Lovely sky. I like the amount of light on house and lawn. You might consider turning on some lights indoors when taking pictures this close ot sunset. It gives a feeling of warmth to the home. An 8.

You take for granted that everyone who sees this picture will know what idea you are trying to get across or that these lights have some meaning that we can't see. I don't see what's so extraordinary, just my opinion.

The focus of your shot is a little dark, but i can see how you would have had problems with exposure on this.. Some fill flash with -1 stop or so flash compenstation might have been worth a go (Assuming your camera can do adjusted fill that is...)

This has potential...it needs to be in sharper focus. I understand that you may have been going for a soft focus look, but there's a fine line between soft focus and out of focus. You are close, however. I like the composition of the shot, her downward gaze, and the warm lighting. :o)
