Dark

I really love this picture! The concept and execution are really fantastic. In this version, as opposed to the others that are in full color, the soft, almost pastel coloration, I think, is essential. There are only two minor suggestions that I can make. There are some stray wisps of hair, especially on the right side of the image that ought to be cleaned up, I think. Also, I feel that the goosebumps on her skin do detract somewhat from the soft feel of the image.

But overall, this image strikes a stunning balance between soft and contrast... between color and muted tones. The model pulled off the pose and the makeup impeccably, and you, as the photographer captured the setting fantastically. Really well done!
