striking colours, nice crop.
It's a shame the white of her eye has gone largely green, and (on my screen at least) she appears to almost have strap marks either side of the pendant.

This has awesome color and the light catching in her eye is great, but I wish she had a different expression on her face.

I don't know what the light sources are... but the catch lights in her eyes are kind of "freaky" to me. I think she also should have worn something to hide the tan line (or it should have been fixed in post).

Nice ighting and DOF but the necklace really throws me off. I'm wanting to look at it instead of her eyes. And they are incredible.

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: I think the composition is right on for this particular image. Personally I wouldn't change any part of that.

Technical: Here is where I feel the image has been let down. The improvements needed are only minor but are enough to have kept your score down. The shadow around the table is natural, but distracting. Try lightening that area. The hill on the left shore is dark and takes up too much of the image without giving anything to the story. I have taken the liberty of working on your image in the way I have described here to show you what I mean. I added a Shadow/Highlight to your image and found the details in both the shadow and the hill appeared. I also cloned out the post at the top of the chair.

Overall: Overall, I feel you have a great image with good lighting, composition and colour. But the minor areas were enough to keep your score down. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
