Very nice the subject and the way to use sepia leaving red lips.

I really like this too, I gave it an 8.

I like the light color, but agree with John that B&W has potential too.

You may have tried this, but the darker areas may be just a bit on the light side. Consider adding some more contrast to do that.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Nathaliedoo...

This is a beautiful composition. I absolutely love everything about the view you chose here. The high key nautre of it works fairly well also. I think this is an excellent canditate for black and white because the colors within the image don't work particularly well for me. There is not enough color to provide any significant strength, and the image almost appears monochromatic by nature. The color within the image also doesn't seem to mesh well with your choice of border colors. That particular combination, to me, just feels bland. I think this image, converted to black and white would have a nice gallery quality feel to it if the pink part of the border was also changed to black.

Added: After reading the comments you received, I rememberd that I did a high key 'minimal' image for this challenge as well. That concept doesn't seem to do well here at DPC. The voters here aren't used to seeing it and don't give it a 'chance' to be absorbed for what it is. There are a few who recognize the merit in it, but I was definitely surprised at how few...

Excellent work :)

good shot and interesting crop. I would have preferred a wider tonal range though accentuating the shadows and better defining the shapes.
