A tighter crop would have made this a stronger image.

Wow. There's something of a still life in this, portrait too. I'd try to lift some of the shadows, but this is probably difficult within the basic rules

Nice feeling. The head is dead center vertically, maybe because you were trying for the colorful flowers? There just to far away, I suggest forgetting them, that a tighter crop would be better with all of the attention on her.

I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

Looks like a profile of Whislters Mother or Queen Victoria. LOL...Too much dead space though. A closer shot would have faired better. Also, the focus is not that great. Love the woman though, and what the photo had potential to be. I would work on it more and place it in your port where basic editing rules don't bound us as much. A 5 vote from me.
