Holiday lights with a twist...

[marks]

Was wondering if I could get some critique on this shot. I took this shot of my wife a few nights ago and we both liked the way it came out... I was wondering what you all thought of the overall composition lighting and feel. Thank you!

Hi,
I looked at it for a little while, so it's definitely interesting. I think if the whole shot was generally more in focus and perhaps a little wider to show the light string binding her, then perhaps it'd have a little more impact.

Please read the guidelines and include the information they ask for. That alone will ensure you get more responses. Thank you!

Looks ok, I think it needs a touch of contrast and maybe bring up the exposure a little.. looks a little muddy. Focus looks ok on her eye. The compoaition isn't uncomfortable. Biggest gripes are the fairy light obstructing her cheek, and that white/grey vignette..

+1 on the vignette. It is definitely an interesting shot and like Dave, I looked for quite awhile too.
