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.

This is a nice head shot. For a portrait I think you need to show the eyes--open the shades on the window to the soul, if you will.

The light coming down on her face is a bit harsh...creates a glow on her hair. Also, there is a wisp of hair in her bangs that covers the iris of her right eye, which causes her eye too look completly white and unnatural. Pose is cute, but the pop casts a big shadow on the left side of her face. The sleeve covering her hand is a distraction to me. The highlight on the tip of her nose creates a glow that almost causes that part of her nose to disappear. With a bit of a lighting adjustment, this could be a very nice portrait. :o)

Cool idea, with nice lighting, but showing the eyes might strengthen the image overall.

It seems like the WB if off a little bit. No big deal though.

I'm not sure what to say ... I can't figure this one out. Her eyes are closed. She's hiding behind her hair and blowing on a lolly pop. Maybe I'm looking too deep, but I don't get it.

The idea is great - but model looks to be just holding or blowing on the lolipop. Black background really makes the hair color stand out. My biggest problem with it though is that fact that the eyes are so hidden.

Glare from her hair is a bit distracting.
