Getting quite a few comments in voting about the slight greyness of her skin. I wish this had been an 'advanced' challenge! The make-up applied by the make-up artist was actually quite feint - boosting the saturation without giving her an orange tan was really tricky! This is the best I could manage with global settings.

I really like the shadow created by her arm, from the thumbnail i thought she was wearing a tie!

I love the angles on this image from the hair, the shoulder, arm, chin, even the eyebrows. The colours on the face are unusual and go well with the expression.

Good lighting, despite the shadow of the arm. Could be a bit warmer, the tones especially in the arm are a bit cold. 8

The very bright background destroys the power that the photo might have.

a very engaging model with very cool face painting - i just wonder about the harshness of the light behind her head - it seems to be just a wee bit too intense

Nice tones and grad for a Basic challenge. Not loving the arm shadow on chest and neck shadow on her left hand. Otherwise a great effort and minamalist face paint makes it stand out from the crowd.

well composed; skin tone is a tad greyish on arms and chest. a golden reflector from the right had helped here and also brightened the shadow on her chest

Nice comp and lighting. Perhaps a little bit more needs to be going on though. It's a bit "still"
