I'd have cropped the top down some, since that white space at the top doesn't seem to add anything. I like the softness of the image.

I feel sorry for you. you have color in this and people are seeming to think it is black and WHITE. Very good 7

The background is very bright, so, you should have tried to give more contrast by "darkening" your face. Do this by using Levels to darken the "midtones" and "shadows".

Colors seem slightly washed out.

I find this portrait difficult to rate and challenging to comment on.

What appeals to me most, really, is the subject. The unassuming approach and fairly straightforward (except for the very appropiate soft focus) rendering delivers features of remarkable beauty and conscious expression. If seasons had a face, I imagine, this one would suit them very well. It speaks, to me, of both joy and the trials of life.

I really like your composition, with the bit of space to the top and left. The delicate colors are really pleasant.

Not a bad pose, but I think perhaps a little added contrast would have been in place. The background also needs some work (4)
