Hi there,
I really like the simplicity of the image as a whole.. white background, simple fonts, nothing too crazy..
All in all I really like it; the one thing that kinda bothers me though, is her eye looks a little glassy? It could just be the colour of her eyes\pp\lighting, who knows, but I'd like to see a little more sparkle! Also just the possibility of having your font just a tad larger!
Thanks for sharing!!

I agree with the above poster. The overall piece is nice, but her eye is creepy.

I think it's because her eye is completely dilated. Did you not have modeling lights on or did she just come from the eye doctor?

You can just see a ring of iris and - that makes it look a little strange.

I'm also a freak for balance and symmentry and I think it so that the left edge of the photo goes right down the center of her face would be a little more effective.

Oh, BTW - she is absolutely stunning - love her skin!

"Eye" catching card; my minor concern is that the model's eye is really not sharp so it adds a little too much softness to the overall photo; dont crop it any tighter..the divided face is great..skin tones right on..and placing the model's face on the left side of the photo leads right into the text/type.

Agree with others. The first thing I noticed was "the eye"

It's a little soft and a little disrtacting looking.

One other thing is there is a prominent band of green CA along her shoulder that should be PPed out.

Otherwise I like the overall look of the material.

I agree with the eye, but more notiable to me, is the symmetry of her face. I think you should crop on the center of her upper lip. Other than tha, it the picture is very nice.

I agree...great shot but the eye really does detract. It almost looks like she has a dark color contact or a burn tool a little to heavily applied.

I like the concept---Simplicity is great. As far as the model goes-- I don't know jack about model makeup, but it looks like she has a lot on. Her skin almost looks clay-like. Or us that how they always look in close portraits?

1 - Eye is super dialated. Instead of using hot lights try strobes next time.

2 - Don't gassuan blur soo much, Skin looks VERY fake.

3 - Ear.... I don't even want to know what's going on with her ear. Looks like she is something off of star trek.

4 - Detail Detail Detail... Where is it? When you are shooting this close your image should be SUPER SHARP and full of Detail...

5 - Good luck, keep trying

It's weird. It looks like you were going for a really clean and smooth image and I like the concept. I would prefer it if the eye was in focus even if it was the only thing in focus. As it is, I don't like it. The blurriness of the eye is making me feel like when I first take my glasses off. The dark spot on her nose is also distracting. Her ear? Something under her ear? Dark spot on her lip.
Try and reshoot the same thing.

The skin looks over-processed to the point of distraction. There isn't enough tones in it to look realistic. It's my understanding that these days with makeup, you still "sculpt" your face using darker shades to give it more depth. Also, when retouching skin, it's important to leave some realistic texture. The point is to make the retouching so subtle that the casual viewer won't notice it's been retouched (although we usually assume it has been anyway )
