 Kimi is a lovely model.

I was so conflicted about the edit :( The focus was actually a wee bit off, so I duplicated the bg and added a gaussian blur layer and erased where the eyes were and a bit of hair, so that it didn't look too odd...dodged and burned, and sharpened...yeah.

I would ADORE it if this got a 6 or (gasp!) a 7, but somehow I doubt it.

Nice picture and I like the lighting. I think the eyes could be a bit sharper. Looks kind of soft.

Focus seems soft, perhaps by intent, but it distracts from my appreciation of the image.
