I don't get a real sense of rhythm from this shot, but then again I do get a sense of atonal melody. There's no well defined paattern, but there are many contrasts in shape and color which do have a (somewhat jarring) effect.

that red! this is beautiful, love the bright red & green irridescence

then her left eye (right frame), particularly under the stray lock of hair, pulls my eye to that corner; the editing there doesn't suit the rest of her facial image...perhaps a softer & bit more light around the anatomy of the eye, just enough to see the brow?

Comment by Kali:
The eyes are over-dodged making for an unrealistic and unnatural photo, which is a shame because it's a fairly sound photo otherwise... maybe a bit hot on her earlobe.

Comment by djofi:
only thing here I would mention is that you should have made the model trim her eyebrow otherwise beautiful picture nice contrast in color.

nice bokeh, but DOF is too shallow IMO. reflections on the front ball distract

I really like the photo, beautiful colors, great connection to her. I am not really fond of the shadows on her L face, her eye justs seems to be floating there, given the amount of side light on her face and extending onto her forehead I would expect at least a bit of light on her L cheek which would have made the picture better imo,

still overall very nice 8

Beautiful shot. Love the vignetting and the sharpness and clarity on her face. The contrast in colors works very well also. Nice work.
