i could see this on the cover of a sheik gourmet magazine. perhaps that's why you went with a vertical crop. i hope others don't complain about your composition and focus as i find both quite appealing

i really like that your bg is pure black. i wish the flowers were just a bit more crisp and popped off of the bg more. your choice to not have the same negative spacing on the left and right feels odd to me.

i would have zoomed or crop in on the face. the grass and dress only take away from your nice image

i really like your lighting angle. the shadows are quite complimentary. the stem base looks a bit over processed compared to the rest of the image

Bags everywhere

curious why you didn't stick with a more natural shot. It looks heavily neat imaged but feels like it calls for a grittier approach in my mind.

nice image, but the area where the hair meets the shirt doesn't seem to have come out as expected
