Greetings from the critique club :)
First off, regards to meeting the challenge, this photo does that easily and I doubt anyone disagrees with that assessment.
My biggest gripe with it is the lack of focus on the eyes, I always think you should focus on one or both of the eyes and you don´t do that in this shot wich I am sure you did on purpouse but doing that isn´t to my taste. Also I am a fan of the big space above her but think you overdid it a bit, if you had lowered the frame just a bit so her head wouldn´t be in dead center, this picture would have looked a whole lot better compositionally.
The rest is pretty good, I like that I am looking up at her, the clothes colors vs. the backround colors work nicely, the light is good and so is the exposure, think you should have used iso 200 and 1/80th shutterspeed to eliminate any chance of camera shaking but that´s just me, the 1/40th seems to have worked this time so you must have steady hands. DOF is nice, except for that I was griping about earlier about the focus not being on her eyes, and bokeh is good.
All in all a pretty good shot and I think it ended up pretty much where it should end, almost a perfect 6.000 score and I would have voted a 6 if I had voted.
Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus. |

| The head tilted back distracts from this shot IMO. |

| Nice shot. The use of complimentary colors is almost always a good choice and the colors are nicely vivid without being over saturated. However, I feel there is just a little too much empty space above your subject's head. The photo doesn't feel balanced to me. |

| I really like this. The colors are beautiful as well as your model. Her expression leaves me wondering what is on her mind and what she is doing. Something about this throws me off though, like there is too much attention above her head, though I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Just like, the bright colors and the way her gaze and chin are up, my eyes are just drawn up too. |

Very nice! Love the colours and the composition is good too!
Allthough I think her face could use a bit unsharp mask or something :)

| Beautiful model and colors. IMHO, it should have been cropped in more...too much space on the top - it distracts from the subject. A closer shot of her face would have put this over the top! But still a nice capture. |

| I wish the model was looking at the camera...nice colors though. Also, I think it would look better if the picture was zoomed in a little more. You get a 6. |
