This strikes me as a snapshot. The harsh light on the back of her head distracts me from her face. She looks unhappy about something.

Hmmm, she looks either pissed or annoyed. Lol. The sunlight seems a little harsh on her hair, but I like the color and composition.

Nice focus, skin tone and lighting on her face. The sun is too harsh on the hair though, with some blown spots. A lovely portrait overall...

Avg vote, good dof.... face is soft and has good detail, but facial expression and lighting stop me from placing higher. The back of the subject is more brightly lit then the front, less detail is visible in her back hair and is almost blown out but that is where my eyes get drawn rather then being drawn towards her face.

Great, teenagery expression, well composed in the frame. The lighting on her hair is a bit harsh and I find the backround a bit distracting, but generally a good capture.

Such a wonderful young lady. Did you try cropping the right a bit to lessen the brightness of the yellow. Might have been even better.

Nice protrait. Hot spots in her hair are a bit distracting.

beautiful bright exposure. good job with the fill lights from the left. Nice soft focus. good eye for the positioning of the background. If I had to pick one item to critique, it would be the overly bright hair on the right side. It it partially blown out.

This face appears to have been overly processed or 'neat imaged'. The model doesn't look so thrilled with having her photo taken and the harsh lighting isn't very appealing.

Perhaps a really tight crop of her face would have worked better. She has beautiful eyes.
