Your daughter is indeed a beautiful girl. Makes you a lucky photographer to have such a model on call ;-)

First Impressions:

The first thing that graps my attention are those eyelashes! From there I see the eyes, then on the blowing of the pixie dust. I think it's a good draw; very pretty model.

Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus):

Good composition. I like that you've basically filled the frame. The focus is nice and sharp, except there on her fingertips which is of course exactly as you want it. The lighting is good, not harsh, not too dark. You stated it's a studio shot and you obviously know how to handle lighting. The comment about the pixie dust (below) is spot on.

Challenge:

I think it meets the challenge; but may be a stretch without the title

Artistic/Emotion:

Artisticly this is a pretty straight forward shot; not overly artsy.
It doesn't pull any emotion from me good or bad.

Summary:

All in all this is a well done studio shot. But it really doesn't push me one way or another as far as a WOW or an UGH.


Thank you Luci !!
I had some doubts sending this picture in but in a way i like it, I guess mostly because the model is my daughter :-)

Extra points awarded for having such a lovely woman in photo. Nicely done.

Beautiful lighting and makeup. Really like the idea. I think sparkling powder eyeshadow or glitter may have made for better pixie dust by giving it more dimension and presence. The blurred portions of the powder you used look like water spots on the model.
