Personally I doubt this would pass. The messy background would work strongly against it, and overall composition isn't that convincing, e.g., that awkwardly intruding hand and the disembodied elbow at right. There's some weird light effects, perhaps what you're referring to as 'glow'. There's the red halo around her head, also present around the necklace/gold sash thing and on her top, and that weird yellow over that intruding hand. I don't think you could adequately fix those. At 1/8s I'd say motion blur is a factor. Also comes up a bit soft perhaps, probably due to the same thing. Flash reflections may also be regarded as too harsh. --jjron (talk) 13:32, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed such flaws, but wonder whether they could be dispersed through retouching with some crop. Brand[t] 18:52, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could crop out the elbow say, but the hand obscures her hand and part of her body, so it would be a heavy crop to remove that. And you couldn't crop out that weird lighting unless you basically just cropped into her face. --jjron (talk) 07:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
