What a beautiful part of the world you must have lived in. Such bold and vibrant colors and what a beautiful woman. Stunning

Greetings from the critique club

Composition
Composition is good. The desaturated background is non intrusive. I like the traditional costume, and the colors make it stand out.

Processing
Some detail in the eyes appears to have been lost. I would have loved to see more sharpness and perhaps some catchlights there.

Overall, I like this photograph. Congratulations on a top-50 finish, and good luck in future challenges.

the af seems to have focused on the hat, instead of the face. it's sometimes good to not only bracket exposure but also autofocus. or stopping down might have given you a greater chance of gteting everything in focus at the cost of bokeh quality

This is just incredibly beautiful. Not only the lovely model, but the nice crisp saturated colors, and the perfect dof. Not crazy about the composition, but not knowing the circumstances, I can't say how it might be improved. Nevertheless, quite a lovely shot.

Stunning colors. Image seems pixelated on her face.

Neat shot. Very colorful and I like the off-centered composition.

Such beautifull color, could have done with a bit more sharpness/focus, but still nice!

the focus just misses on her face, a bit soft, and it looks like it belongs in a travel magazine, rather than being a shot a an individual. But oh, those colors and perfect backround, and such lighting.Lovely altogether. top ten

Wonderful burst of colour

Personally I would have liked for this to be in sharper focus. Portraiture and soft focus go hand in hand but with the colors in this shot I think it would have popped off the screen if it had been sharp.

I would prefer to see a solid dark background instead of the striped effect. Otherwise it's great.

This is just aMAZING! The sharpness looks 3-dimensional. The vivid colors just jump out at you! Excellent portrait!!!!!

Nice bright colors. A little bit of blur around the face but a lovely expressive shot none-the-less. Well done. 8

Love the colors! The background really brings them out.

I find that her skin and mouth are too post edited. The colors are bright and pretty but I feel that they detract from her pretty face.

Colors really pop!

Unfortunately, the focus is off the face a bit.
