very pretty model, and I like the way you used the light and shadows. I just wish her face was a bit sharper

Stunning lighting ... just a tad TOO soft focus IMO. 7

Lose of detail due to light being too low IMO. Basically the Eye you can see should have been the focus point but its blurred.

Like the split lighting, well done there. Wish her eyes were in sharper focus.

Critique Club Review:

Technical: Focus and depth of field are excellent. Color, saturation, and hue: Color balance appears a bit off. Saturation is done well.

Reaction: The sky is just scary. Looks like something out of the Stephen King movie "The Langoliers". I'm not sure what you were going for here. (Though it appears skasuba loves it, so mine isn't the only opinion.) As this is an advanced editing submittal, I would recommend correcting the perspective of the building. Tall structures, when photographed without perspective correction, appear to be falling over, as seen here. You might want to look at cloning out the car also. I think this picture could really pop if done in black and white. I too would like to see a little more picture, to the left looks like it might work best. But then again, no telling what was there for you to work with.

Overall a good photograph with plenty of possibilities.

Interesting building. Composition is dead-center, consider other composition alternatives, including additional buildings in frame. Also consider correcting for perspective with advanced editing.
