Late afternoon pick under a weeping willow. Debated on the full image or this crop, finally went with the crop.

Added a blur filter to the entire image, used the history brush on the eyes, hair and mouth, adjusted contrast and selective color. Not a dynamic expression but I was happy with the basic look of the shot.

Lovely girl, well done photo. I think a different shade of lipstick would have really made this even better than it is.

I'm not good at technical critiques...there's something about the nose that looks...too light or something compared to the rest of her skin tones. I like the hair partially covering the one eye and the eyes themselves.

I like a good tight crop, gets you up close and personal. Good focus, nice eyes.

Her skin almost doesn't look real. I'm curious what you did in the post processing?

I am not too sure about the reflection in her eyes, wish it had just been a catchlight rather than such a large area of her eye and also it appears that you have dodged over her nose area a bit too much compared to the rest of her face maybe to get a soft focus effect? A bit of burning on her lips would have made her lips look a bit more voluptuous. It also appears that you have tried to blur the green behind her but this has bled into her hair. Hope this helps.

The model has pretty hair and expressive eyes. Nice composition. The image is too soft in some spots, and the lipstick is a bit distracting for me.

The skin and the hair seem to clash here....could be the lighting is too harsh. Her eyes and mouth are very well focused and pretty though.

A bit too much neat image I think, but it does not seem to detract too much from your photograph. Your model is stunning with lovely big eyes. Nice Work.

A bit soft- but it has a nice glamore feel. Nice.

Beautiful intense eyes. I like the hair over the right eye. The softness might be just a touch overdone - it tends to flatten her skin tones a bit too much for my taste. The pearlescenht lip color is attractive as well. Lovely model!

Very cool shot...maybe a bit too soft IMO, but I really like the hair and cool tones. Great Job.
