I like this image Mule - she has got great eyes

I guess that the colour caste is deliberate, but I think the direction of the light is is wrong for it to be a reflection from the wall/board on the RHS. I think it might be better with more of the wording being readable, especially if it adds to the story she is telling. As it is, only her eyes draw you into the shot, and I think you are losing the opportunity to tell us more.

I think you might do worse than to try to get some portrait shots of your model to show us all just how pretty she is.

what did you make her cry for you meanie .. lol ,this is a great shot she has lovely blue eyes and they stand out with the red wall next to her. i like the angle of the shot too its just right i think but i agree with graham about the lighting

I was having a problem with the lighting as this was done in her room as a favour to her, didn't have a studio available. The light source was a window to the back of her. And I didn't make her cry on purpose..! Promise! Lol

definately effected with her eyes (from crying ,poor thing )actually i would be tend to crop top of her head off ,from top of forehead ,as that way i would stay focused on her eyes ,instead of wondering up to top of her head. just my preference .

lol look forward to seeing the one you were going to put in , if this poor girl is crying ,....imagine what the next image is going to be

just kidding

Personally I would have cropped it in a simmilar way, but this was for a personal project for the model, she needs to paint a portarait of herself, and she wanted her hair to be a part of the picture. Thanx all for comments

This is an interesting and evocative picture. I wondered if her makeup and lipstick was just "goth" or if the eyeliner and shadow ran because she had been crying. I also wondered about the chalkboard, what it said, and why she way hugging it. Quite good.

I am ok with the lighting, but I really don't like the red cast. It is too much (in a bad sense).
