I like this shot a lot...I really think it should have ranked higher.

Geena Davis's daughter? Interesting lipstick work.

I too dislike the hard black behind her.

For me the over all image is too busy, the quality of light looks good. As I look around in your image I see things I would change like the shirt maybe a plain color, something more to be a more contrasty to your umbrela, like maybe a stripped shirt. Just to give it some more lines, with the great lines in your umbrela. These are just my thoughts hope you do well. She is very pretty girl. Have a grat day.

This is an intersting picture. Colleen looks like a very lovely woman, but unfortunatley she is getting lost in the busyness of the shirt and umbrella. Her alabaster skin, light hair and bright lipstick would have done better against a darker, solid background. Good lighting and composition though!

I like the flow of the compostion and the brightness of this.
The elbow part of the arm looks so hard defined against that black background; I wonder if a white / brighter one would have worked better to get a better transition from the bright skin to the background.

This fills the frame really well. Very nice. There seems to be a few hot spots at the top there but nothing too distracting.

Pretty shirt - takes away from the girl

My comment might seem to be a little strange but I think this model needs to have more simplicity in her clothes, she has very clean face with long straight hair, a green simple dress or maybe red would have made this photo much better, also just a regular umbrella, maybe red or white with white background. I think the pictures in the umbrella and the shirt don't match with the whole, at least not the shirt, but the model is very nice and the lighting is good.

Really nice. It's busy but the busy works really well here. The super red lips are a nice touch. The hand looks a little awkward but not immediatly noticeable. Good luck!

There is too much going on with the parasol and the shirt, it distracts from the gal.

Good lighting on the model and great colors in the clothes and umbrella. I'm not incredibly fond of the black background in the lower left corner, but everything else looks nice!

i am thinking i would like her to be looking at the camera, rather than off the camera. this is a stunning effect, and i would think it to be better ifn she is looking this way. just my opinion though

Nice job. Well done, hope you do well with this...

Very classic. I have a feeling that a stop less may have given it more punch, we'll see how it scores
