This portrait has wonderful colors, and the eyes definitely make the shot. The splash of color on the very bottom (apparently part of the scarf) is distracting. I would have cropped it out.

Compared to other veiled photos in this challenge, the lighting it a bit harsh for my liking. I like the veil colors and the eyes.

very beautiful picture. though i find the lights in her eyes somewhat distracting. it would seem more mysterious and... i don't know the word... if the eyes were just - natural eyes. brown and black. yeah... i don't really know how to say what i'm thinking. but good job!!!!

If I could vote, I would vote this a 10. Awesome, what a pretty woman, you should hold on to her.

Looks similar to another challenge entry. Beautiful eyes, they draw you in.

Beautiful. A bit overexposed though. Powerful eyes. Nice!

this looks like a well planned shot except that it is over exposed, the large featureless area of her forehead and the background to the right look very blown out; including the bit of red in the scarf was a good idea

Nice close up, the coloring is great.

Really like the focus on the eyes. Little bit of glare in the left eye (IMHO).

Lighting is way too harsh on left side of face and reflecting in eyes.

this is a little bright and the scarf hides so much identy which I think helps make a portrait.

Nice Portrait!

Generally I like the photo a lot. I find the multiple light spots in the eyes a little distracting.

Good expression, but it looks like the light was too bright.

beautiful

It looks a little staged for my liking but I love colors you have used. (from the rich brown of the eyes to the vibrant blue of the material)

Lovely portrait but I think the skin is too smoothed over. It gives a bright cast to the left side of her forehead.

I like the mysterious sense of this shot. Her eyes are stunning and not overly post edited. I think the white light to the right is a tad blown out (for my taste at least). I wish the scarf were a solid color. The touch of pinkish red and yellow detract just a bit. Her complexion is very pretty.

Beautiful! The only two things...the blue hue in the pupils of her eyes and that her eye make-up is uneven.
