Dazzler

It's a solid portrait; I like it. There isn't much particularly attention grabbing about the shot, but it grew on me, leaving me subtly fascinated. One thing sticks out to me as odd about the pose, however. The expression is great, but the hands seem strangely placed, like they don't know where to go.

That said, the place where this piece REALLY shines is in your use of color. The chocolate brown in the eyes, the hint of auburn in the hair, and the dazzling reds in the lips and costume give me a delicious feeling of satisfaction. It's rare to see brown/red done so well. Also, extra props for managing to keep sequins from being gaudy.

Well done.
