*Hello from the Critique Club*

What a lovely portrait, it has instant impact.

The very shallow DOF and accurate focus on the near eye against the dark background all work very well together, nicely broken up by the splash of colour from the scarf. With regard to the scarf I personally would have liked it to be a little lower enabling me to see her mouth too, I think it could have made a stunning portrait into a sensuously appealing one too, though you could and probably would argue that hiding her mouth adds a sense of mystery.

Technically the lighting is gentle with no harsh shadows though the scarf is darkening her face in an ever so slightly moustache-like way indicating that the lighting is from below. Its a good exposure, there is good detail in both shadow and highlight areas.

In respect of the challenge her eye is nicely placed on the right vertical, you might have considered placing it a little higher on the hotspot which may have improved it overall but that would have involved some cropping to her forehead.

I hope Grace was well pleased with your image, I and the voters were!
