Very nice idea, but I'm not crazy about the colours. Seems a little flat.

This is a very peculiar lighting as I see it here. Could be my monitor......it almost looks ultraviolet.

The lighting here is too harsh for me, the detail is blown out in the yellow flower and the red flowers add little to the composition.

Haha.. your egg is.. "hardcore"! I couldn't help saying that. I looked closely at this image, mostly because I really like it, and I still haven't found any flaws I would suggest improvement on.. (other than that black part..). Fantastic job!

Interesting pose and take on the subject. The lighting is a bit harsh on the left and not being able to see her eyes is kind of disappointing. A 5

Comment by David.C:
Lighting: A reflector is needed to bounce light onto the left side of the face, and it really needed to have been toned down as there are hot spots in the hair and on the nose.
Pose: The pose is not very expressive. The DOF is too shallow as the right shoulder is OOF.
Background: Works fine.

THis shot makes me think of Chrissy Hines of the Pretenders. Very eighties feel to it. Love the matching lolipop/lipstick. I do think that your lighting is a little harsh and takes away from the shot some though.

Looks a little bright on my monitor ... would be a great "concert" shot if that was a microphone instead of a lollipop.

Comment by Olyuzi:
Lighting is too harsh and concentrated in certain areas and missing in others, such as the side of her head and causing ugly shadows on her face. Especially concentrated on her bangs over her eyes causing a blown out area so that, along with her bangs, you can't see her eyes, which I think greatly detracts from the impact of this image. Had the lighting been implemented better I think I would have liked the colors a lot better too, which appear to be brown clothing contrasting with your model's beautiful red hair, lipstick and lollipop. I also think the lolli prop detracts from your model's provacative and sexy look and is confused with your model's apparent sophistication. Maybe an outstretched open palm as if blowing a kiss would have been better? Just my opinion and hope you don't take my comments negatively, as they were not meant to be.
