 I have not edited this picture in anyway, but I think that this a very strong image. This picture I believe has a very retro feel to it like the old Twiggy pictures. With this being my friend the way that I remember her is for her big lips.

Very sweet, I like the mood you've captured.

maybe to recompose the image, play with the light to make the lips stand out.

I feel more light and emphisis should be on these sensual lips. Dreamy feel to this.

The shadows seem to take the focus away from the lips and to the eyes, also not too keen on the big dark area below her chin.

YES, really nice. I wonder why you have choosen black and white and upper light. I also wonder why you have included complete face on the photo. Because when I look to it, the lips are beautiful, but also, the eyes, nose,... So I think the photo doesn't take the attention to the lips (unless you read the title of course). Anyway I think it is a great photo

This is a little soft but it kinda suits the image. That area of jet blackness under her chin totally pulls my eye in away from her face though, might have been better to include a light source aimed upwards, or to just have placed her in stronger light so we could see some detail down there.

Too soft for me, but a great shot.

Nice shot, could be a lot stronger if she was right in the middle of the frame.

It might be me, but it looks really soft to me. If it's sharp SOOC you might have issues when downsizing... unsharp mask works wonders before AND after downsizing. Just a thought.

Lovely photo. A bit too tight cropped for me, though.
