Good composition but looks too bright, too contrasty and too harsh.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Nice focus and a very nice job only focusing on the elements of the image. The use of the sheet was a very nice touch to prevent any sort of distractions in the background. I also see some sort of yellow hue to the image. I think increasing the skin tones was unnecessary for this capture. It look over-warmed as it is. I'd be really interested in seeing the original.

Lighting: I like the lighting you used here. You did a good job creating highlights and shadows that give a nice depth to the image.

Composition/Content: While I do not usually withhold points for borders, this one is far too distracting. You have great content for this challenge that is nicely composed. The border is far too strong for the tones inside the frame, thus it competes strongly for the eye's attention.

My Opinion: First-rate job meeting the challenge, but I'd be willing to bet the border and the hue/sat on the skin tones kept this one out of the 6 range.
