An arresting image. Beautifully done. I like that the skin hasn't been smoothed plastic perfect.

I like the green and bronze tones in this. The light in her eyes is very distracting, though, as it creates a line that cuts her pupils in half. It takes away from their impact a lot.

I like the texture of her skin a lot. The umbrellas in her eyes are a little too prominent. 8

Bonus point for not overprocessing the eyes and skin. So many bad portraits on this site recently that I'm compelled to rate the good ones higher. Well done.

Nice and sharp and interesting. Looke like some clone/heal work could have been a bit sharper on her right cheek.

I like the lighting and the processing. (not voting yet)

Good - some softening of her skin could still improve this beautiful and poetic portrait
