Technically well-executed, but her expression kinda leaves me flat. She's not really smiling, but she's not really frowning.-5

Beautiful and very well executed. The backlight outline adds to the intimacy and help pull the eyes into the shaded area to find a highly sensual experience with such exotic color eyes. Thgere is a quiet projection of friendliness and sweetness. Very good work.

Perfect DOF wonderful lighting. A little too red, and I would like to see a different expression, maybe a natural smile just starting to develop, or a mischevious quirk, to make it POP. 6

No 'snap' in the lighting and it feels a bit contrived /forced

Beautiful shot and model. The composition is first rate. I love the sidelighting on that blonde hair. Her eyes are wonderful but the only nit I have is that the hightlights in her eyes, I assume from a fill-in flash are almost too piercing. Your focus is wonderful.

A beautiful portrait of a beautiful girl. I especially like it how her green eyes match the color of the tree in front and leaves in the background. The flash does create a bit flat light and removes all shadow, could maybe have been a little less.

Creative use of space - I like the tree obscuring the subject. Great natural expression as well. The problem for me is that the highlights in the background compete with the model's face. If you could have taken this image when the sun was less intense, and the histogram more compressed, I think it would have been amazing.

An amazingly beautiful portrait. A lovely young lady helps to accent your talent. Great job.

love the catch lights in her eyes (reflector? most likely). A little blown out through the trees which gives the initial impression that her face is underexposed, which i don't believe it is. Nice placement of the model in the frame, and nice use of the tree to frame her face.
