Hi Aksana,
I think you're right! and by the way, this is a very nice shot - sharp and detailed. Maybe two things I'd change - (1)lower a bit the brightness in her face for better contrasts of the contours (2) remove date.
Great shot anyways :) TFS
Regards,
Daniel

Hi, Aksana. I think this is a compelling and well-shot portrait. However, I think the very wide angle you used isn't that flattering to her face. The wide angle pushes back the edges of the face and makes the nose look fat. It makes her features seem flattened down. BUT, the composition is pretty good and the lighting is really nice. It's good and sharp, though maybe a little overexposed on her face. I like her smile and direct gaze and especially the way her hair is flying around her with all those golden highlights. I agree with Daniel -- lose the date. But it's a good effort. Keep it up. Take some more. Try different focal lengths and exposures. You've already got a good model -- and that's the hardest part! Best, Hugh

I think you did pretty well on this picture, aksana. Let me give you some free advise...... try to get a little more depth in your shot by changing the light direction. Now it is quite hard, from the front coming, which almost blows away all her skintones. Which undoubtfully also are very beautiful.
Cheers,
Peter
