I loved it while voting, still love it as well,
Like the very soft lighting you have here, shows everything and yet cream soft, very well done.

I like the concept of covering half of her face, adds mystery/intrigue. I like the tie in of the fan and the earring. I also like how the earring fills in the dark area. Nice work.

I like it except the earing is a bit too bright.

Very pretty! The only thing I would have changed is maybe making her make-up a little more dramatic for this. Imo I like to see striking colors on model for close up shots. I still really like it and it was well composed and taken and the earring as piano keys was a nice touch!

I've always liked brown eyes! Nice tying in the earings to the fan.

Excellent composition, great lighting, beautiful girl, one suggestion: I believe this wonderful image would have been even more powerful should she have worn a musical note shaped ear ring.

I love the folded fan but I think the earring is a bit of a distraction, although it suits the theme. Beautiful lighting.

Cool portrait. The fan and the ear ring have a different quality to them than the face making this more interesting for me.
