Post challenge thoughts:
I now know that changing my pciture design (e.g. remove the red left eye part) might have scored mine higher, but, that won't be my whole picture, not the one I'd like to present anyway. So, if I had chance to do it over, I would improve the quality some more, but won't change the artistic design part I believe in just for higher score.
winning a challenge is nice, yet not everything. I am sure most of you photo artists out there would agree.
Thank you all very much for every single comment I received. |

| I think just left side alone would get pretty high score; for whole thing artist should follow his own feelings and he/she does; it is interesting anyway; I'm not a member to vote :) |

| aside from a little bit of shadow creeping in near the outside of her right eye, i love the left side of this photo. the way it's lit and the shadow outlining her nose and lips. but... the left eye just doesn't not look right to me at all. it looks like her eye is bloodshot with some weird red eye make-up going on. |

| Recommend that you go for a vertical crop and leave out the reddish portion - would have been great - 5 |

| I would have preffered it without the wierd eye on the right and with a tighter crop. |
