Don't like the background color, or the fabric of what she's sitting on. The feather cover is a complete contrast to the surroundings and does clash. This shot also seems a bit out of focus.

I like her fierce, proud look. You did a great job capturing her attitude. I only gave this a 5 because I think the red in her complextion is too deep. The colors themselves do not blend well together and the design of the upholstery is very distracting. I think it would have been more interesting if you had cropped up to just below her shoulder and cloned out the sofa and corrected the wb.

This could be better if the lightning and the focus was better, and the sofa in the background is a bit distracting too, good luck

very unsharp in the face, focus seems to be on the couch behind her. Also needs white balance adjustment

2 - focus needs to be sharper.

Lighting let this down badly which is a shame, a closer crop of the face maybe?

the pose is a classic. the focus is off a bit, making the eyes look blurry. self portrait? hard to get in position quick enough, eh. I understand that

out of focus and too dark

the focus is a bit soft and the photo is very hazy...maybe experiment with some different lighting

Looks a little blurry and the color is completely off. Did you try using PS to fix the colors?

Would love to see this with a solid back ground, your composition is perfect, perhaps it is my monitor, her face looks to red, keep up the good work.

Horribly out of focus, lighting is very unflattering as is the background color.

poor lighting, out of focus, needs work on color balance, hue and saturation, boring compostion

focus appears a bit off to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Out of focus.

Great capture. I love the expression and the face. My only suggestion would be to set your camera on a tripod to ensure a sharper focus. However, I love the colours and the composition. Good luck!

The lighting needs to be improved and also it is slightly out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot. left side of the screen is somewhat out of focus. IMHO, I would have croppped out more of the rights side. BOL

Confident looking lady. I think the feathers would of been great but the couch pattern needs to go. Little soft.

Seems a bit out of focus (or moved)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a great idea, with gentle soft focus. Cropping into the left shoulder and down to the top of the head might add emphasis to the subject, as would a lighter background. My compliments to your model.

looks like you got a little motion blur or the focus is off... also, the wall behind her is very flat, especially where the light is dim behind her head, i would have tried throwing some light on the wall for a gradient or accent.

The lighting in this shot seems very poor to me....very dim. The focus also seems off and the pose seems uncomfortable and unnatural for your model.
