Hi,

In general i like this photo. I like the lighting - It adds to the mood of the shot big time. I like the concept as well.

Personally - I do not like the soft focus....especially on the face.
I'd like to see the face sharp OR REALLY out of focus. For me the focus is neither here nor there.

If this were my photo I'd also crop it on the right side to her shoulder, so that we only see a bit of the red background. It seems to be taking my attention away from the model - even though I realize the symbolism of the red.

Hope that commentary helps?

I'd love to hear what others say - because this IS an interesting shot.

I strongly agree with the softness around the face. Was it intentional or just a slightly longer exposure then expected?
but nice conecpt and photo other than that. I like it.

I also agree with marko and borderline. It appears to be a longer exposure in which the modle was moving. Otherwise, good shot and great concept!
