Very nice and very appropriate for the challenge. The lips and the lipstick color clash, matching would've given you an extra point. Soft focus is very nice here, so is the composition and crop. In my top 10 this week.
I really do love the photo. Just a couple things.....the upper lip I think should be equally as focused as the lower...and the nostril reflection is a bit strong.
This would be much better bigger and maybe even a little tighter on the lips. She has nice lips and this is a great color, I'd have really concentrated the viewers attention immediately to that and taken all other factors out of play to ensure that the focus was directed at exactly one thing.
Soft focus and good depth of field makes the composition very interesting. The shininess of the lipstick container and the vibrant red makes it a great focus point.
Very nicely done. Effective use of color and soft focus. Lighitng and composition are excellent. The only blemish is the title - a little too cutsie. My favorite so far this challenge.
