Your thoughts?

It's a portrait. What sort of feedback are you looking for?

Nice looking girl. Well done, generally.

Looks like you filled with on camera flash, which looks fine in this case except that the catchlight in her eyes is dead center, producing a slightly creepy look. Also, her teeth appear a hair yellow.

the sky looks a little blown out, im guessing it was bright out. its almost overexposed her face. would like to see the same picture, but stopped down a hair more. or, the bright sky selected and fixed. lightroom or photoshop? overall, a good shot. that blinding sky is just a tad distracting.

Maybe b/w over the color?

I'm not fond of the blown out sky splitting through her head. Just a nit with me though.

Jacket could have used some attention too.

lighting somewhat flat too.

just some random thoughts...

then again... Did you hit your mark?

Constructive criticism, recommended improvement, technique suggestions... The usual stuff...

I agree about the catchlights. Too dead center. Also, consider cloning out the whisp of hair coming down her nose and some teeth whitening.

I'm not a fan of the hair being so backlit.

Her expression makes me think if you gave her a couple fangs, she'd be a vampiress. It appears she's eying my jugular.

This is a pretty good shot. I like your skin here. Ditto about the catchlights. I don't mind a blown out sky, but when it is uneven like this it is distracting. You can fix that in PS with some cloning. I like the backlighting in the hair. It adds alot of softness here. P.S. Quit smoking, it will kill you. Love, your nurse.

Her expression seems a bit forced or tense. I thought the background was a bit blown out, and it did affect her hair at the top...there was some light that came flooding around her head and caused the top parts of her hair to be very bright. I pulled the original into PS and rotated it 2.5 degrees Clockwise, and cropped, then converted to B&W, and boosted the contrast a bit and got this look. I thought that the background was still too dominant...still too bright, so I did a quick burn-in on the background and a bit on her hair to see if it'd look better a bit darker. NOT really a great job, but wanted to see if burning down the highlights might change the tenor of the shot, which I think it kinda does.

Sorry man. Just my opinion. In this instance the catch lights are not appealing.

Its a photography form, what kind of c+c do you think is required. Why don't you read c+c given and add if you have anything to add, which I very much doubt with the attitude of this post, after only an enormous 12 posts since you started

haha i gave her multicolored teeth

I can agree with you there, but the centering thing - it's becoming contrived.
