Nice image but lot of the flowers are out of focus and may be a bit much for a focus on the young lady.

Great image, gave it a 7. I might have given an 8 or a 9 if the girl and the flowers were a bit farter apart, letting that gorgeous dark hair of hers to frame in her face a bit more. I think it would have made her jump out even further.

Very intense look, especially agains the yello. I think a tighter crop on her face with fewer flowers would have been even more intense.

Challenge: 10 This is what you call a portrait with natural setting. Better than a studio
Composition: 10 I love how you used the flowers to contrast her. of centered to the right gives the rule of thirds a 10
Technical: 10 The image is very sharp and I think not going for a soft focus really makes this shot good as you are trying to show the flowers along with her.
Creativity: 10 I like the set up of using the flowers against her natural tonal skin
Overall: 10 Well done

I hope this ribbons. Good Luch oh and she is beautiful.

Wow - She jumps right out at you. Nice shot! The bright yellow gives the image a boost (might be a tad too much reflecting on the girl? Personal opinion I guess). The composition is nice. The way her arm trails off at an angle to the corner ties that part of the image in well. Good job.

I have to keep remembering to tell my subjects to "open their eyes" just before the shot. This girl has beautiful eyes. I bet just a tad more whites and her eyes would simply be stunning. I wonder if more of a square crop would have done better on this. Maybe take off the left 1/4th of the image. I do like how the flowers come down at an angle, it gives the image some energy. It just feels like there is a little too much of what you don't want to look at. Nice DOF and sharpness. 9

nice colors, great composition and use of rule of thirds.

I wish the flowers nearer the camera were in better focus, and that the subject's apparent attitude were a bit more in tune with the softness of the flowers - but, regardless, this is a well composed photo that is appealing. The flowers do frame her face nicely, and the lighting seems to be good. Nice work.

Beautiful model. I don't think I would hide her behind so many flowers though. Maybe a tighter crop? 8

Beautiful portrait still to yellow in color .. ir

She is so pretty and you have done her proud with this photo. Only thing I might have done is to have less of the flowers in the shot but its only a minor point.

The colour in this photo is beautiful. The soft focus of the background is great. The greens of the bg go well with the yellow flower and the contrasting black and skin tone of the girl highlight her beauty. I think the girl should be a little more off center and not so much hiding behind the flowers. I also think the the flowers near her head are in focus and her head itself is slighlty out. This is a real shame.
