I really liked the composition ... its a beautiful portrait but I think in the post production, there the portrait has bit too much highlight on the face with the nose totally loosing its edge and the eyes has too much sharpness relative to the rest of the portrait. But I still think the portrait is good so if it could be retouched, would be a wonderful one.

I love her makeup and expression, the light and composition works great too in this shoot.

Best regards Tore

Alex,

She is a beautiful little wood nymph. I really like this shot. I find her lighting, color saturation, contrast, catchlights, eye contact with the camera (viewer) and her pouty little smile all excellent. I like the sharpness of her eyes. Your left and right compositional balance is very good. Her make-up looks very nice. The use of eyeliner under her eyes helps to frame them and really makes them stand out. Your use of shadow adds interest and helps to create a nice feeling of depth within your photograph.

The background is nicely neutral. You could have lightened the background a tad or thrown in a small backlight or kicker to separate her more from the background, but it really isn't necessary. I can definitely see separation from the background. I like your use of the dark blue. It works well with her eyes.

I can understand wanting to show all of her headpiece if this was going to be a commercial shot, but for better top and bottom compositional balance you should have included more of her on the bottom. I have included a cropped version that gives better balance and I have lighten the background slightly. For a portrait, I think there is too much of her hat showing. I might think differently if she had clothing that went with her hat. I think haute couture hats work best as an accessory rather than by themselves. This is true for almost all hats. A major problem with my crop is that it makes the leaves look like they are part of an inexpensive background prop. I do like the composition better.

Nice shot,

Mark

I think your lighting and composition are quite good. Most fashion shots are flat with slightly over exposed skin. You have created nice modeling without the use of fill and the fall off illuminates the backing well without distracting from the portrait. Nice work.
