Just ran across this. I find it truly beautiful. The lighting has a lovely softness. I love the snood! Wow - who'd have thought to use that eyeshadow, but with her eyelashes and the overall look, it's really great. If I were to nitpick anything, it might be the pattern on the robe/kimono. Maybe just skin would be really pretty too.

It is hard. Either you are looking angry, mud covered or you're in drag. :)

This image is special and deserves top 5 if not a ribbon. It was one of my favorites and shows just how wrong I can be. I honesrly felt it was headed for the top 3. There is a lot of art here and beauty. This goes into my favs.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and votes. I wasn't really going to enter this challenge, but Nasti was having a photoshoot with this model and seeing she was all dressed up in pink for a catalog shoot I asked if I could butt in and take some photos as well.

Hehehe, the flightless bird returns to haunt us !

Sheesh - only 11th place though - you a little rusty kiwi ? :).

I like the pose, soft feel, and that eyeshadow is simply ridiculous - almost enough to drive me into a boy george/ marilyn manson phase.

Beautiful and highly sensual. Good skin tones. 7 on initial pass. Bumping up to 8
Another bump: 9

I should give this a 10 but I promised Sher not to do that. :)

He he he.
Seriously now: I like the setup, pose and composition. It is just that the face doesn't stand out good enough (for me). The tone of the skin is a bit too close to the tone (not the color but the strength of the light) to the background. Somehow she reminds me of Princess Leia.

I will find your selfportrait! :)

Beautiful portrait. The eye shadow is a bit loud for the feel of the rest of the image IMO. Overall nicely done.

Very nice. I like the facial expression and the crop. Look at her collar bone!!!! ;)

Perhaps not having the pink eyeshadow would improve the photo? I like the overall soft look.

Returning for comment:
A beautiful portrait.
The eyes seem a bit too soft against the details of the lips and the skin around the neck but the overall impression is romantic and elegant. nice work.

Yet another nice portrait! Nice tones and colors. Great job.

Just beautiful, but a little less pink on the eyes would have made this awesome.

beautifully done portrait!

A bit too much green in the skin tone, and the eye shadow is over the top but the shot is elegantly posed and framed.

Hmmm ... OK, but, those eyelashes really look faky, and the picture seems just a bit long at the top. And, with all the pink in the picture, it somehow does not convey "pink". Excellent lighting though, especially in the bottom half of the picture.

I really like this photo and think that it should ribbon. IMO this photo would be out of this world with the hair down and no net. The models makeup is enough to me for the challenge. That is what stands out to me and says pink! Great work and good luck!

Very nicely done. Interesting clothing choices. Focus and light are perfect for this type of shot.

Solemnity and hot pink eyeshadow just don't seem to go together! I would've rated this higher had the eyeshadow been nixed, as the soft tones and her facial expression are rather endearing. But those eyes...they really just throw the whole thing off for me. I still like it though! Good luck!

Beautiful soft portrait. Great use of color.

Beautifully lit and spot on focus and yet soft and flattering, very nice portrait - love to see some other shots from the shoot! 9
