Daily Deviation

First things first: what a gorgeous model. :) She's absolutely beautiful. And she has a definite "look" in this shot: all the different elements of the picture come together, including her shirt, necklace, make-up, and of course, the veil. So bravo, well put together!

Stemming off of that, you used a very interesting colour palette with this photo, the way the blues and grays of her eyes are echoed in her necklace and shirt, and how her lips and hair go together. This all helps tie it together into one cohesive piece, which is again one of my favourite things about this.

Some other things:

There are a couple fly-away strands of hair that really stand out against the shirt, and that can be just a touch distracting. Good framing of the face and tilt of the head, but on the left you cut off a little bit of her hair, and that's a slight pet peeve of mine: if you cut something off, don't just cut off the edge - either cut off a lot, or none. Maybe that's just me, though. I feel like it makes the framing look neater.

Lastly, the colour of her hair is gorgeous, and one of the main components of this picture. It's incredibly vibrant, which is great. Just be careful that in the hair, the colour doesn't wash out any sense of depth we see when looking at it. A little more darks pulled forward, like in the bun, might've done you good.

Overall, though, really an absolutely gorgeous photograph. :)

The lips are quite stunning, I also really enjoy women with pink hair, the whole reason I had to take a better look at this. The model is gorgeous and her eyes just draw you in. BTW very nice jewelry. I do wish the actual color of her eyes popped more, but it's a great photo overall, and that's simply my opinion ^^;

As a follower of Raven's I want to say, you've created a unique look with this. It almost looks like a different person.

I intend this as high praise as the ability to show us something new and different from the models you shoot, is to me, the mark of a true artist.
