I chose to interpret Icons of beauty. My goal was to create a hellenistic photograph of innocent beauty. Red symbolizes the looming womanhood that surrounds a growing girl. Additionally, she has a Snow White kind of beauty. I think this enhances the purity of a young girl. This girl is an icon of chaste beauty.
I like it, although I think that the contrast could be taken down some and maybe use a hair light to seperate her hair from the background.

I agree with the above comment! and maybe photoshop out her hair elastic on her wrist. also, I'm not quite sure what they are but on the left hand side theres a large black oval it looks like, and then theres another one on the right hand side, but a smaller black dot that I can vaguely see, which are both a little distracting and make my eye wander.

there is the impression that she is floating, which is nice and seems to add to the notion of purity. perhaps less contrast/saturated black in her hair, as already mentioned, and a bit less shadow on her left side?

I agree with all of the comments! Otherwise everything about it looks really good. :) I like what Claire said about the floating - perhaps even play up that idea by having the red material flow down the side of the table, but in a way that it doesn't outline the edge of the table so it still looks like she's floating. Something to play with!

I think the highlights on the skin are far too blown out. I'm also not sure how well this pose/gaze is working...right now it seems a bot awkward and forced.
