=Since91, I know you asked me to critique [link] but I felt for me this image was much more compelling, so I hope you dont mind that I spent the time to critique this image instead.

I love this image, I think the cool tone works so perfectly with your eyes (which are fantastically stunning by the way). I love the way your face is placed in the image, not only framed nicely by the edge of the image, but so nicely by your hair as well. the slight tilt of your head adds a nice bitt of attitude, and the intense stare is gripping. The curve of your lip give only the hint of a smile to come, but which can easily slip into a frown.

I really like the bokeh on the left from the flowers you are holding, it adds such a lovely element. I would like to see what this type of image could look like with lace, or something like that.

did you add blurring? it looks like your lips are soft from a Gaussian blur, instead of a typical of DOF softness? typically the lips are pretty close to the same depth as the eyes, and so if your eyes are in your lips will be. (also there is hair at the same depth that is in focus.) if you still have the PDF with the gaussian layer in it, it might be worth it to make a small edit on the mouth to make it feel a bit more natural. if not, it is still a fantastic image as is.
