I can't help drawing a comparison to the popular National Geographic photo of the Afghani girl. Without that comparison, your picture would rate better with me. It's a bit inconsistent to have her with a burqa-like shawl and lip gloss and streaked hair. The catch lights are kinda big. A fine portrait if not for such strong resemblance to the NG pic.

A fitting place for Liberal Media

politicallly speaking I'm with you - smal size makes it seem blurry, or at least lacking resolution for good detail or texture

cute picture! - seems to be a little grainy, and would have liked to see a wider range of tones on the skin (highlights vs shadows)

a pretty sky and beautiful reflections - I would prefer to have another subject in the foreground to add to the composition

nice shot - very clear focus and great exposure in the animal's "element"

Comment:
nice execution of a neat concept - it seems that the model's facial features are little blurry, I would like to see more definition there

this would be a nice poster - appropriate tonal qualities and color - the moon is a little overexposed

An eye on the cider press.

the facial detail that's visible is very nice - I want to see more - too much negative space for this type of photo, in my opinion, probably due to the direct sunlight vs the heavy shade
