somewhere between a 6 and a 5 I think - her hair and face is quite nicely done, but the colours are very flat. I know that black can be tricky, but a bit of highlighting can go a long way. Also, you could try practising some blacklining - where the red fabric meets her skin it would add a lot of definition, but it takes some practice to get a really fine line (I would paint the skin first, then the blackline, then paint the red so you control how much black is visible). Her hair looks great, don't change a thing :). It looks like you may have varnished her prior to photographing? I've found that while it looks ok in person, varnish can show up quite bad in photos unless it's dead flat - the slightly sparkly/sandpaper texture on the dress might be due to that? Finally, I'd recommend painting the flock on her base, as it helps tie it into the mini - plain, unpainted flock looks odd and out of scale, and will make the mini look more 'fake' - it'd be like using real gems instead of painting them, just looks odd. But nice work! Oh, and one last tip - to get more comments, try naming the mini - reading 'another mini' ticks off a whole host of the regulars round here and makes it hard to search for stuff :) .
