I really like your photo. I think the main "criticism" you'll get is regarding the branch behind you. (7)

I like the lighting, the texture on the tree, and the border.

Great lighting and contrast--post-processing is effective but doesn't call attention to itself. Though the branch sticking out of your ear is a little distracting. :)

Ah. my friend, I really like this photo but I don't like the branch. It just kills the good photo makes it a humorous one. I will close my eyes and pretend that branch is not there and vote thus way. Technically perfect, and very nice composition. Good photo overall :)

This is very nicely done, but the head-piercing twig bugs the heck out of me... I also wish you'd off-centered the figure just a tad more, it's uncomfortably close to being dead-center. Beautiful processing though.

Really a great image, but I don't like the stick behind your head. 8

I really like the this portrait, I would just take down the eyes a bit to match the body because even though you want to make the eyes pop out in the a portrait, you shouldn't have them be over powering.

To make the eyes really pop out, try putting a catch light in the shot. Not only does it save you time with photoshopping, but it also is the most capturing thing you can do in a portrait.

Either way, I love everything else in the photograph. Just fix the eyes.
