I took this foto few months ago. I wanted to improve it whit PS, because oryginal foto was without contrast, sharpness and the face was bloodless. What do you think about my work. Every comments are welcome.

Really superb, Jacek. Maybe a little too dark on the right side of the face. But then, again, I probably wouldn't change it. I just wish I had taken this photo. Ed.

simply loverly. I love the glow in her eyes and the matching colors on the leaves. I think the skintexture is spot on, seems like a very real portrait to me.

Beautifully done, stimulating image with unanticipated composition. The hues and values shared by the model and flora work marvelously in the well thought out and professionally presentation. Everything is flawless, except the intense light on her nose. With this fabulous composition, the occurrence of that hotspot at the edge of the frame intensifies the discrepancy, especially when contrasted to the lighting on the left.

I seldom see portraits of this compositionally quality and really wished to award a 3TU, but the lighting is a killer. Congratulation for this great shot. - Chrome

The colors and tonality is great. Especially the color of eye suits so well with the leafs at the left. I like so much the shadows that gives a "dark feeling" to the image and a mood that makes an artwork and not another snapshot ! Great work, I would be very happy if you can view my photos, as we have some really common things in the way we present out themes. Greetings from Greece - Michael

Hi Jack! Great work! This eye is amazing!! :) Beautiful tones, nice croping, but too less lips, too much upper part of nose. Good skin corrections, maybe the nose is too red. I'd mask the second plan - bright places are a little distracting. 2,7 TU :) pozdro i nareszcie na sigu. :)

This is great. The color harmony is very well done as is the elements of contrast. The touch of white at the top and bottom of the image gives it nice balance. The eye work is great, perhaps a little hot on the white right side of the eye. Nice job.

I absolutley love this shot...I miss the lips though, the hard crop is fantastic but IMO would love to see the entire bottom lip sliced vertically is fine...thats a nit pick though...great range and a wonderful fall(ish) image.

I really like the softness of her skin and sharpness of her eye. this composition is really nice and crop works wery well. Colors exactly mean that she's an autumn Aga. Pozdrawiam (Twoja fotomodelke rowniez;)

Jacek, I had this similar idea last fall, got the kids to get some leaves and was going to do something like this, but then I got sidetracked. Your capture is superb. The tones of the leaves complement her skin tones as well. I like your composition. My only suggestion would be to clone out the white collar on the bottom. The knitted toque(sp?) is fine. Well done!

Love this photograph. The tones works well with each other. The bit of the white cap adds the needed balance for this photograph. Also love the contrast between the smooth skin of the model verses the hardness of the leaf. This photograph seems to beg though to be in B&W.

Jacek, Beautiful model, i love the light and you have quite captured her subtle smirk. I like the composition as well. The ONLY thing I see is the leaf may be a little distracting that close to her eye.. ... Maybe if it was slightly lower. i could be wrong and it is just my opinion. That being said I really like the photo a lot. It caught my eye as a thumbnail and I certainly was not disapointed!
