I am always grateful for your accurate advice and critiques.
I would like to ask for your comments on this work.
In this work, I wanted to express her supple and robust beauty as a photograph, focusing on the power of the gaze.
However, the viewers did not really understand the intent of the work.
The equipment used was a canon R6
EF 24-70mm F2.8
1/125s f4 30mm ISO
ISO 200
I would appreciate your comments on why the eyes are overemphasized, or whether the way the mouth is hidden by the flower is wrong, or whether the composition of the picture should have been more focused on the eyes, or why the message was not conveyed.
Thank you in advance.

Tomo welcome back I 'm not going to go down the fineart rabbit hole all I'm going to do is give you my thoughts on your fine image. - Love the composition and framing but find the overall contrast hard to swallow. Thes are the tools I used to try and get back some of the overall quality. Topaz AI sharpen for that Pro look. Camera Raw whites and highlights brought back. Nik Tools Clear view to help with wquality. Some dodge and burn tool work see attached.
Hello, Tomo
Welcome to our forum. Thank you for uploading your image. II agree with my friend, Daniel. This portrait is a bit overwhelming. The reason might be the extreme contrast or the amount of black with less lightened shadows, or the crop that is not what we usually prefer. The models left-hand is not complete and the right hand is nearly cropped by the wrist. Similarly her mouth is behind the flower. Are these really problems or not? IAs photography is subjective, I think that this is up to the viewer, and how they perceives photography. Today there are many new approaches to different genres of photography. The quality or value of an image is determined, by curatiors on this platform. It could also be the number of curators who disagree with your framing that judged this image not fit to publishing . Most of them stick to hard technical rules. I myself mostly try to do things according to the book and try to adapt my artistic preferences to these traditional views. what I want to express here is about the assessment curators judge an image, and the judgment is mostly dependent on their point of view. Because of that, I find it difficult to speak negatively about most images here. It's obvious that you wanted an image like this and your point of view as the photographer matters. However, on platforms like this technical rules in photography might matter more. So I would advise you to work on some compositional, and technical approaches in portrait photography. Have good light. Cicek...
Hi Tomo,
I have opted for a (very quick and dirty) drastic adaptation towards avant-gardism - merely as an idea.
I kept the background completely white, increased the contrast of the flower and the right eye, and cropped the finished picture differently.

Mr.Daniel Springgay
Thank you for your critique.
I did have a lot of trouble with the contrast of the contour of the cheeks, but I chose to express the impression of the eyes.
I appreciate your kind reply and your suggestion of an effective method.
I will consider making good use of AI.
I will try to learn how to complement the real thing.
Thank you very much
Dear Cicek Kiral
Thank you very much for your very informative, specific and encouraging critique. I will study again so that I can learn from the wisdom of the curators and move in my own new direction.
Thank you very much.

Dear Udo Dittmann
Thank you for the very, very sharp, contemporary image suggestions.
When I was in middle school, I had the chance to experience German art through a homestay in Cologne, and I found a wonderful contemporary German approach in your photographs. (I like Bauhaus and stuff like that.)
I will incorporate various elements into my work.
I would be happy to receive your critique again.
