Phoenix Dawn

Stunning! This si what photography is about. This is engaging, impactful, interesting and emotive. Fabulous of light to create a moment yet the light does not detract fro the lovely model nor from her pensive expression. Hair and makeup are perfect, looking lovely without detracting in any way. A nice neutral background goes a sense of depth or presence (so the image does not look flat) yet does not become obvious nor detracting. The only only improvement I can suggest is perhaps it looks soft, a but too soft or maybe it could use a bit more saturation. I might remove the upper ear piercing because it seems to pull my attention away from the subject's eyes, but its a minor effect. In fact, for this image I would have also experimented with no ear piercings at all to see if I can keep the views eyes deeply engaged with your eyes.

Either way, this is a stunning and desirable piece of art, well done.
