    This looks just like a painting. Are you sure that it is a photograph? ;) Perfect head angle and perfect subject orientation. I might be tempted to do a bit of work on the eye.

    Overall: A+ I do love it.

    Lovely high key setting for a great species. In my opinion it could have a bit more density. Very nice work!

    Love this floating beauty. I don't particularly like high-key images but this one works nicely.

    Not sure what a high key image is but this is fantastic. Compostion and colours, it all works for me.

    A very pretty image. I think it needs a bit of CCW rotation.
