 This is for the first team Event so I really tried and made an effort with this one, Used the new lens but the same model, my poor fiance \\\'thank you Hanae\\\' she was not keen on the editing a lot but the original is too dark but had ALL the flavour I wanted to use.

A lot of burning/dodging to get to this stage

A beautiful portrait of an exotic woman holding a flower - with the title playing on the words such that the viewer reflects upon whether it refers to the plant or the lady. Love the soft tones seen in the hues and subject is lit dramatically. There are only two things that detract from the composition as a whole. First, the left half of her face is in sharper focus than the right half which appears more softer. Not this is not necessarily an overt bad thing because it at times adds to the soft delicate mood being portrayed here. Nonetheless the sharp focus of her face in entirty would be nice for it would show more details. Lastly, I think that you have too much empty space to the right of her that adds nothing to the composition. You can easily crop this to a square format to improve the composition such that the viewer's attention remains focused on your main subject.

This is quite an intesresting take on yellow, might have been better if she wasn`t looking directly at the camera maybe... but they are engaging in a way so, depending on how you look at it, it can be a pro - or a con for this picture.

I'm sure everyone else will point this out too... but her eyes really make this photo amazing. :)
