Amazing sharpness of your portrait. The releflxion on the eyes is astonishing. The lady is really pretty. My only critic would have been to get the full oval of te face but it doesn't matter much.

Very well done,

Emmanuel

Excellent work Anna. Top portrait in the tight cropping, perfect control of light and other details. The added bonus - her reflective eyes - is really something special. Love it!

Hello Anna.
Fantastic portait you managed to capture here.
Not to complain, but this photo shares a stunning similarity to and old National Geographic photo from the eighties. The one from back then had some even more vibrant eyes, but wether or not you are a professional photographer this is just amazing.
The lighting is perfect so all detail avaliable in this girls face is portraied perfectly.
Thanks for sharing.

An awesome shot Anna. Wonderful natural skin tones and colours and nice tight framing. Everything about this photo is just spot on. And then, as everyone else has already mentioned, her eyes, such captivating, piercing eyes, and yes I agree with Skye, the photo does remind me of McCurry's shot of the Afghan girl. TFS.

I certainly like it, well exposed, and a striking beautiful face, but IMO, you should not have cut the shawl on the left, it just does not look right as a compo. So closed-up, you were totally free to keep it completely centered, I'd think.

Hi Anna!
Wow! What a beauty.Composition,colors of skin,textures on cloth,sharpness...++++.Bravo!

Hi Anna,
A nice portrait. Beautiful expressions in her face, lovely eyes! Good DOF, and very sharp pic. Only thing I would say is that I do not like the cropping. May be the top most part is ok, but cropping the left side does not do good, because its a close up shot and you could have easily kept that.
Regards,
Sayan

You spotted a really classic face in Jaisalmer, Anna.
The details you have retained in the facial portrait are well thought of.
Finally, the picture is an outstanding example of techinal excellence.

Hi Anna
This is a brilliant shot. I just felt it needed some colour adjustment just to bring it out.
Hope you like the workshop.
Cheers Anthony
