| One of the better shots of the challenge (not sure that is saying a great deal - I'm afraid!) but yours stands out. The sat/desat works well and so does the centered composition. Beautiful colors and model. Something strange about the skin on her face - maybe it's the makeup but it looks weirdly smooth. Back to bump you up to 8. |

| WOW. The smoothness of the photo really goes with your subject. The colours are amazing and the subtle background really works. The only thing you may have done differently is not have the women dead centered. |

| Great desat. Great focus. Great colors. Great DOF. 7 as it is. Perhaps na 8 if you would have moves her a step to either the right or left, to avoid having her so centered in the shot. |
