Very emotive, realistic, has a genuine look about it. Super job!! (May be a bit dark, but I think it works with the emotions/feelings being conveyed)

Pretty In Pink

Comment by Artan:
Great idea, and the pink does stand out well.
If you are going to give a copy to the model I would use a little bit of cloning to smooth out the imperfections on the neck, and whiten the eye a little...

Great idea. I like the DOF. I wish there was a little more light on her face - to highlight the black eye more.

Comment by gloda:
I like this one. The girl takes in about half of the frame and is really close to the watcher. This along with the well-applied DOF make me connect to her immediately. The title allows some interpretations which all go into the same direction. You might be referring to the hallway which is blocked by the man. Or it is linked to the man's addiction to alcohol, which is suggested by the bottle in his hand, which he took along outside the flat. The third, and most striking interpretation that occured to me is that for the girl there is no way out of this relationship.
The only thing that bothers me is the girls black eye. The picture works well enough without it, and would allow for the spectator's imagination to get going.
10. Good luck.

A very appealing portrait and well taken - the pink is very subtle - perhaps a little too subtle for the challenge - but I like it, good luck

The whites of the eyes are blue.

Good Concept, Just a little too Dark. Of Course by now, everyone has said this.

The background seems to have been erased.
That creates a weird halo of blue around the model.
Other then that, a nice pink and a nice portrait.
