I had to play around with the crop/border/saturation a little. Hope you don't mind.

I think the post editing is a little weird on the nose/eye area. The lighting, pose and contrast are great however.

Rikki-

I'm not trying to be mean, but I think Librodos secret is to start with a super highly focused photo, then he does subtle neat imaging. Your version is to heavy handed on the neat image, plus on this one you even ran it into her hair. Also from what I can remember, Librodo shoots against some sort of colored wall (usually a rich vibrant color). Not saying you are trying to copy or mimick him here, but the blurring or neat image is what is killing these pics for me. I use NI myself but in this case (and the one of your entry) is just too much.

Don't be mad at me...k?

Im a fan of your portraits but the pose didnt do much for me for some reason. The lighting, color saturation as usual are spot on, but the focus on the eyes seems a little strange. The headdress is really pretty and adds visual interest to the photograph.

Anyway, you placed really high with it. Congrats!

Well you should be pleasantly surprised today. 9th not 11th!
Should have ribboned in my opinion. Amazing photo/editing as always.

Congrats and Enjoy!
