All the collected elements of clothes and make up and pose and on and on - even the lighting, although that's probably less significant than it could have been for the challenge - are very lovely and so's the model, but in the end it does not depart at all from someone posing for a picture, which drags you down to 6 on my little scale here.

Very evocative portrait, and like others of its kind, gives us a glimpse of the subject's personality while making us want to learn more.

Technically, I think it would stand out much more with more contrast (more specifically, darkening a bit - the equivalent of moving the left arrow on a levels adjustment to the right some), and then lowering some of the resulting saturation that occurs after the contrast change. - or alter lighting so that its less flat, not that I'm an expert at knowing what to do differently.

Technical aspect aside, it stands out as one of my favorites of the challenge just because its a portrait that goes beyond the superficial. Hard to articulate in words I suppose.

Excellent work!

Whatever you did here it works very well, IMO. "Lovely" says it all.

I Like the effect, and with basic editing it is hard to do the final elements, such as clearing the eyes, but a good image 8
