Pretty girl and daring close crop. I love the tones. Nice entry.

I like the composition on this one, there is a small patch under the eye where the edge definition has gone which is a shame. good effort

Nice shot. Unfortunately the nose gets the immediate attention because of the hair line. Deeper contrast might have helped to bring out the details of her face. BOL

Comment by Kavey:
A nice use of her hair to provide shape and framing. Such a close up demands more perfection though and I'd really like to remove those stray hairs on her face. It also feels as though she is squinting against bright light, and I'd like to see her eye opened to a more natural extent. Great choice to go black and white with a touch of toming (though it appears a touch too green for my tastes).

I like the idea, but while her nose is sharp, her eye isn't and I can't say that I care for the greenish tone

An interesting fragment - one wants to see more! One is drawn to the eye but I would have liked a pose that faced the camera by a just few degrees more.

Comment by Mousie:
i like it, the really tight framing is refreshing. however, i think her cheek is too close to the right edge of the frame for comfort pull it away, let the dark background work to hilight her face!

Good angle. I don't care too much for the tint. A few nits such as cloning out the hairs on the nose and lips and maybe trying to capture the eye a little more open although its pretty obvious from the lighting how bright it was. You lose a little definition on the bridge of the nose but short of punching up the contrast and then doing a selective curves on the shadow under the nose I'm not sure what you could do to preserve that piece of the shot. Overall its artistic and technically good. Good capture.

Now that is interesting architecture. Good angle and nice capture of the moon.
