Unusual composition... but it's working perfectly. Beautiful model, great expression, nice lighting. The earring is accorded with the make-up and subtly disposed in the nape of the neck. The background is quite heavy... but for whatever reason it's not disturbing. I would be interested to see the same model, pose and lighting with a more simpe background, however. Congrats for this excellent shot !

nice compotion great shot background is quite heavy it's disturbing.

nice framing

First of all - great photo !!! Everything is excellent to my taste here !

And have to agree with all the above said - probably slightly desaturate the background ?

stunning model and portrait . I love the bright colored background , it really makes her skin stand out . well done

Aleksandar,

 

She is a stunningly beautiful girl. You have focused well on her eyes. Her skin tone is very good. Her make-up is well applied. I do like the way her shade of lipstick matches the stones in her earrings. The highlights on her face and the specular highlights on her lips are excellent. She has very good eye contact with the camera (viewer) and a very cute pert expression. It is quite the teasing glance. The background is nicely out of focus which helps draw attention to your subject. You have excellent color saturation and contrast.

 

Even though the background is out of focus, it is very busy. The bright red/orange blossoms draw attention away from the girl. The splash or bright yellow blossoms is especially annoying.

 

You do have nice bright catch lights, but one catch light per eye is preferred. If you have multiple catch lights, only one should be dominant.

 

The positioning of her head in the upper right corner may work for a fashion or product shot to draw the viewer's attention to the photograph, but I question its use in portraiture. Your subject should have more room in front of her than behind. This allows her to be facing into the picture, not out of it. You want to compositionally balance the left and right sides of the photograph. The compositional "rule" for this suggests that you position the tip of the subject's nose in the vertical center of the photograph.

 

Looking over her shoulder works very well in this photograph, but be careful of having the bridge of her nose cutting into her far eye. This is approaching a split-profile. Luckily, her far eye is almost all showing.

 

It is a shame that her shade of eyeshadow doesn't match the color of her her lipstick and the stones in her earrings. That would have really brought everything together -- except for the clashing color in the background, of course.

 

Be careful of allowing her back to become lighting than her face. The viewer's eyes will go to the lightest area of her skin and you normally want that to be her face.

 

Nice shot,

 

Mark
