Nice job. The background texture adds a nice touch.

very appealing. Would prefer a tighter crop

I like the pose and the surroundings, and the concept of the photo fits neatly into the concept of fasion photography. The lighting, however, (or maybe it's the post-processing) gives his skin a blue cast, which makes him look like he's absolutely freezing. Not a look that most fashion editors would go for. Other than that, t's a very good shot.

Greatly underrated image. Beautifully done. I do agree that it should be 640 pixels wide, though.

CRITIQUE CLUB!

I think the color and lighting in this are just outstanding and you did a really great job with the flash -- the catchlight in her eyes really makes them pop.

Some suggestions for improvement might include:

- A contrasting color for the backdrop. Right now everything seems very reddish.

- A tighter crop on the woman's face. Although the composition of this is great and the background does help tell a story, traditionally, portraits are a much tighter crop. I think this might be the single biggest reason why this did not score higher. If you had not worried about including the entire heart, it might not have left so much space at the top and put the focus more on the model herself, which is where the focus is expected to be for a portrait.

I'm not feelin' the background so much. It's a bit "urban" for such a cute girl considering her attire.

although the light source is coming off from the right and slightly above the model's head, it still appears a bit flat. also a tighter cropped might have been better
