I mainly like her skin tones - you have caught the natural feeling of them well. There is also a feeling of deep thought captured that interests me. I am invited to consider her thoughts and what she is considering. I like that - good work.

It is a nice portrait although I think the crop is a bit too tight. The shoulder is also overexposed almost blending with the window frame.

I like this photo because of the natural lighting on the face and because of the applish green color in the backround

Good job!
I agree with the previous comments about the overexposed shoulder and window frame, and was it on purpose that the light looks like it shines through the window onto your cousin??

I love it!! I love her expression, her cup of coffe and the green colors in the background. It's such a simple portrait, but I love it. *adds to fav!*

Nice portrait. The expression, coffee mug and background all enhance a peaceful, contemplative mood. The overexposure doesn't bother me.

Excellent! I think the overexposed areas work because of how they're all connected -- it gives it a certain energy. Great colors and depth. For next time you might want to consider a different colored coffee mug, one that would add even more vibrancy.

Lovely warm colors. Your cousin has a very relaxed, natural and peaceful expression that fits the colors and adds to the overall mood.
My top mark.

Yeah, it´s strange a portrait for you, but i prefer another kind of art, maybe a paint, you´re a great photographer! Idea it´s good, however. Nice colors in background, and composition.

@Petra: That's just how the light was shining through the window that day, which is partly the reason for her very bright shoulder.

I like it, but a little wider composition would be better for me. Really nice and well photo-translated title. Your cousin is a very nice woman !
