::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Nice!

Composition:
Love the composition. I really does a LOT to make this photo, especially with the clouds floating overhead.

Subject:
She's right there, nothing to distract from her.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color is good, so is focus.
Light:The glare on the cheek and nose, I think I would have tried to clone out, just a bit distracting.
Other: I also would have done a bit of desat on the teeth to get rid of a bit of yellowing.

To grow its vote?:
Kill the other entrants :-) Actually, it was just a tough challenge and pretty girls alone just don't go far with voters.

Summary:
I really like this photo. I'm sure she does too.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

Although I do like the mood of this one, I wish just a little more detail was visible.

Interesting lighting, but I'm having a hard time connecting it with the challenge.

Love the subtle profile, and the shadowed skin tones, but the wood is bit bright and draws my eye away. Still very appealing.

Sorry but a tad too dark for my taste, not being able to make out any facial details drags down this shot for me personally but I like the idea and composition.
