i like the contrast of light. however, i feel the skjn is too soft, and the eyes too sharp. 6/10

Hey Curt. I gave this a 5. The thing that sticks out most about this image is the editing. Multiple issues - it is too soft for my tastes and the softness is not a pleasing type (too much neatimage or the like). That gives a weird feel to her skin and her eyes. There is visible work done to her eyes that comes off as overedited and a bit sloppy. Whites too white (which I myself am often guilty of) and her pupils turning a bit blobby (is blobby a technical term?) A reflector on camera left may have given you some fill to bring out her eyes more naturally a well as the pattern of her veil. I have this craving to see her eyes and lips be a bit more natural and certainly in focus. I do like her gaze and the slight tilt of her head. Overall I think you have a good base image that has been overtaken with a heavy handed edit. I would be interested in seeing the original to see what other options you had.

Beautiful model - just wish the focus was sharper.
