Nice lighting and very good detail, especially in the eyes. I think I might prefer a little less tight crop. But this one isn't bad at all.

It is played out and she's not muslim you are right. I just did a little test to see if these scarf girls really do so good on DPC and I must say it did preety well. If my hand would of slipped too much on neatimage sliders, and make it look like a barbie doll probably I would of even made top 10. I know she's beautiful she's my whife to be, but taking advance of mother nature's nature's art (her beauty) and playing a bit of filters in PS is just too easy for me. I don't like too easy. I like to challenge myself to more than that, altho for a portrait there is not much else that you can do. This was just a little test.
Thaks everyone for the comments I really apreciate them and Cristina (the model) apreciates them too. They are good for her moral. I hope she won't go out looking for guys better looking than me tho :)) |

| Very good picture. The eyes speak so much, and the colors and textures are so vivid. It is compositionally strong as the many patterns does not stray us from her magnificent eyes. You know the outstanding features of your model and you used it to the hilt. Love this. |

| Having read your opinions in the forums, is this a sly dig at a certain photographic style prominent at DPC or an attempt to stamp your own vision on a rather hackneyed, yet iconic, image at DPC? The distinction is subtle but comes down to your intention. I think it is the latter: I get the sense that you wished to go down an organic route rather than plastic-perfect. There is a transition from left to right from wood to linen to flesh which works well in terms of texture and colouration. I guess the title hints at this 'living' approach. Ben |

| Lovely face, especially the eyes. The focus is excellent everywhere except for one small area of the cloth, in the center of the fold between the face and the tree(?) This is probably a DOF problem. Still, this is a beautiful portrait. |

| Beautiful eyes. The colors in this are very nice and complimentary to her and the textures of the tree and the scarf(?) also add to the appeal. Good composition and good use of natural light. |

| I'm so glad you didn't add an angel effect to her face. Excellent. The tones all work well. 8 |

| I would have cropped out the tree as it doesn't add to this portrait. The natural framing from the cloth is enough, IMHO. |

| I think you would be better off with more space on the right and lesser on left. the left is just darker cloth which doesn't add to the picture |

| Beautiful!! The color of her garments really brings out her eyes which are very pretty. The only thing...her skin tones seem a little splotchy. |
