I love this image. There is something about the simplicity of this photo that is very striking. The colors, while a bit red probably for others, works well for me. Her lips are delicately rendered and the look in her eyes are precious. Bumping to 9.

The BG color goes very well with your skin and lip color. The cropping is interesting. Two things nag at me: 1) with the texture of her eye shadow so palpable, I don't like having her skin so airbrushed. My eye is just instantly aware that I'm missing the texture of the skin. 2) The expression is very empty and uninvolved. In any type of portrait, I want to see some type of emotion on the person.

What ever is on or in the upper eyelid is distracting from a very,very, rich and colorful picture. BOL 7

Very nice! But you need to get in closer to that beautiful eye with your retouching tools.

Like the radiant colors. I would have liked you looking more direct. Good luck on the self portrait study.

I like the half face crop. Great clarity of the eye. I wonder if a darker background would have worked better. Hmmmmmm

Nice lighting too. 8
