		| | The line created from the left shoulder to the flower in her hair was a little distracting. The flower is so light that I mis-took it for an ear - only for a sec of course. I think changing the angle to remove the shoulder and maybe a brighter flower would make quite a difference. That being said I still like the picture and the upward angle of her glance. |

		| | Very sensual and earthy. I have come back to tis one ans raised my score.  This is truly a portrait, and without being remotely traditional.  Nicely done. |

		| | Beautiful model and I like the pose and the post processing.  I think it would have been better without the flower.  I think it competes for the attention.  Great stuff. 8 |

		| | Love the lighting you used, not too crazy about the overall composition although i like the angle of her face.  Some fuzziness on the left cheek  right out from her nose is a bit distracting. |

		| | Aside from it looking like her shoulder is coming off the side of her head in the background. I like the overall tones and lighting. |

		| | Good soft lighting....but the angle and focus leave something to be desired. |

		| | Wonderful warm soft lighting compliments her features nicely.  the catchlights are nice, just enough to make the eyes speak. :-)  The coloring is very please as is your composition.  A very pretty natural looking portrait. |

		| | she looks kinda drunk.  I think if you would have had her lift her chin a little more it would have worked a little better.  With that said you do have really nice light compisition and so on.  I guess we all prefer different facial expressions

		| | I find the jutting angle of the model's neck to be rather disconserting, and the eyes are a touch soft, but i love the tones and the way she blends into the backround |

		| | I like the softness surrounding her face.  Beautiful skin tones.  The eye position kind of bothers me, though. |
