::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Lovely portrait, but a bit too much NI and a few stray hairs are distracting.

Composition:
Works well, and is pretty strong.

Subject:
Subject is clear and I love the eyes.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color: Seems natural, it might have a bit of a blue cast to it (very little).
Focus is sharp.
Lighting works well for you and is very flattering to her skin.

To grow its vote?:
Neat image (or what ever noise reduction you used) seems a bit overdone. And voters are starting to not like that look.

Summary:
Lovely portrait, scale back your efforts to hide noise (skin blemishes) and you'll do well.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

Her skin looks preternaturally smooth, as if too much Neat Image or similar device was used. I love the shad of her hair and the lighting used.

Huh ... Redhead without freckles, love the hair and eyes but the skin tone seems a little pink, fun way to fill the frame.

Lovely composition and clarity...the angle does elongate her face a bit much, and the color seems just a tiny bit "off" on my monitor (which could very well be, well...my monitor!) but overall it's quite nice. She has mesmerizing eyes. :)

I've never seen someone fill up the frame almost entirely with a person's face. it looks almost like she's in a box.

good work

The color of her skin appears unnatural to me and in a way that isn't particulary flattering. Otherwise this is a worthy photo.

Great red hair and eyes. Well done, hope you do well with this...

I didn't like the paleface look to begin with, but it has the feel of a cosmetics advertising shot so I've changed my mind.

This is an advance challenge... the image would have been helped a lot by cleaning up the stray hairs on her face 6

The skin tones seem off somehow...

Stunning hair. The eyes seem a bit oversharpened to me.
