I gave this image 9 and thought this beautiful compositon was one of the best, very much underrated IMO. The flowers in her hair, shining eyes and these colors are very striking. Amazing work, Judy!
Like your ideal, but I think if you would have stuck with one flower maybe the one to her left would have been just fine. Because the yellow and red seem to draw my eyes away from the main subject.
Returning for comments and bumping up. First off, the composition is great, can't say that enough. I really like the choice in centering her. Also, I particularly like how she fills the frame from corner to corner. That plays well with the centered focus. The only thing I don't really care for is that yellow flower. I'd lose it or replace it with one of the other ones instead.
Sweet girl. Flowers perfectly compliment her innocent beauty. Just a small point- it would have been even better without flash(?) reflection in her eyes. Still a lovely photo.9.
What a lovely intoxicating photo of a young woman. Her eyes are alive and face totally relaxed. Her hair is just billowing around her. Amazing portrait. 10.
Makes me think of wholesome, mother nature, Spring and innocence. I would of liked a bit more lighting around her face/eyes. Other then that it's very good. Congrats.
This one is a standout here. Without losing any innocence or her "little girl" look, this looks quite exotic. Perfect lighting and focus. So far, my favorite. 10
