I love this! Very formal of me, I know.

I love the way her hair is actually feathers, and they shroud her face and just brush against her lips. I always admire the way you define lips in your photography. The softness of the feathers contrasts really well with the fierce strength of her expression.

Her eyes are absolutely gorgeous. The way they stare at you, through you, and their clear, neat, bright colour. They contrast wonderfully with the dominant red of the portrait, and the gentle underline of red beneath her eyes draws out the blue even more prominently.

The cropping of the photo works really well - we can see the perfect amount of face without it seeming crowded or her face seeming swamped.

A lovely photo! Once again, I love how much thought goes into all of your photos.
