I'm a sucker for macro shots of water droplets on plants, and this shot ticks all the boxes for me, brilliant shot.

That is fantastic hair, but the leather couch is distracting. Perhaps draping some diaphonous pink cloth would have disguised it, and fitted more with the pastel theme, and the models skin tone.

The strongest features of the shot are the model's face, hair and the scoop of her arm. The legs for me are weaker though. While still keeping all the necessary bits hidden, If the model had extended her right leg slightly, so her calf wasn't squashed against her thigh, it would have had the same slim profile of her arm. I was going to suggest turning the left knee inwards a little, but come to think of it, as it is, the model looks like she is scrunching somewhat to fit into the frame. If the camera was moved up a small amount, so we could see air above the models head, we wouldn't have to worry about the pesky knee, because it would be out of shot.

Wow, I wrote a lot more than I meant to, but the model is so fantastically beautiful, I thought the shot deserved my full attention. I know I'm being picky, but I'm still giving this shot a 9. Hope you do well. :)

beautiful shot, beautiful model. Focusing is always going to be an issue this close with a self-portrait, and the eyes are little soft, but its still a fantastic shot

the composition is good, but it seems overexposed to me
