Now that has a more spring-like feel with warmer colours and slightly lighter tones. I quite like this one even though the twigs seem too close to her face and the colour has a very slightly surreal look, still I like it in a strange way.

Thanks Ian for taking you time as usual!

Well to me it looks technically perfect - great photo, nice sharpness, great colors, proper contrast. Just pretty much like it :)

Thank you Pawel!

I really like this photo, but I'm not just going to tell you how great it is! There are a few things that would take this one to the next level like the rest of what I glanced at in your port. First, I would say her expression. It's a great look for a portrait, but having the blossom branches actually touching her face makes it feel odd on my first impression. I personally feel a slightly more cheeky or playful expression would have worked a little better with the flowers the way they are.

Second, that one flower pedal covering her leading eye a little, is just distracting to me.

and lastly, she seems to have a green color cast to her skin just a bit, may even bee a little cool too.

over all though, an absolutely beautiful shot. The composition is very nice, it's sharp, and smooth! Hell, I'd pay ya to shoot me!

The surreal look I mentioned refers to the green cast of the skin colour, warm but slightly green, surreal. It may be a reflection of the grass but whatever it is, the result is still much more spring-like than the previous dark and blueish spring portrait.

as I was saying the dark bluish tone is how I imagined and wanted the picture to be, SOOC it was a completely different thing I toned it on purpose I was looking to achieve that dark bluish tone, cheers Ian

oh thank you Matthew, that's good to hear, about the cast, it's from the grass, I probably should've removed, but I don't mind the way it is. The look of the photo, as you say odd, it's just how I wanted to be, ODD :), I'm trying to achieve the look of photographers like Marta Bevacqua and Alessio Albi, btw you should check them out it'll blow your mind!
