Great shot, too bad a lot of the voters thought you had used a pink filter. I'm sure it would have scored higher if voters knew it was achieved through lighting.

Defeats the purpose when you apply a pink filter to your whole image. Loses any chance of a focal point to hold your viewers' attention.

Cute idea but I'm not really liking the hue shift where her face and hands are the same pink color. A bit unnatural...

Very effective use of lighting for this challenge. I had to bump this to an 8 after it dawned on me that the WoW factor is how well the model blends into the image and not the typical WoW one sees at DPC.

Oh.. The color in this is very pretty.
Nice, soft and sort of delicate.
Perfect color for this picture.
Nice background too.

pattern on the backdrop and harsh shadow are very distracting. composition is too centered, her gesture and her looks are very unnatural. contrast is missing.
