This is just exquisite. I LOVE it. The only thing I would change is to maybe clone out the town lights, then I'll buy a print of it. : )

Very nice balance in a very low key shot! Gradiance on the horizon looks perfect, a truly optimal expose (lights not blown out, details showing). I bet there are a bunch of people willing to pay for this (would look great on your wall or could sell as an stock photo). Different from your typical DPC shot, I love it.

This might have been more effective if you'd cropped out the eye on the right. leaving her right eye and her red hair.

Returning to make comments: There's a lot I like about this photo. The auburn hair and pale skin play against eachother very well. The vibrance of the eyes, which you can tell are naturally this bright from the subtle color variances, are specially shocking. While I enjoy the glow the skin, I would like to have seen the freckles and the eybrows preserved more. The composition in the left 2/3rds is very strong, but I feel as if the right eye is lost in all this wonderful porcelain skin. Keeping that eyebrow I think would have solved this for me. Very lovely. 9
