The use of color is minimalistic, with Merlin’s soft, fair complexion contrasting against the dark, textured black flower accessory around her neck, which adds a touch of avant-garde elegance. The lighting is natural and soft, likely from a window, creating gentle highlights and shadows that enhance the texture of her hair and the smoothness of her skin.

The background is out of focus, which emphasizes Merlin as the focal point and adds depth to the image. The shallow depth of field ensures that the intricate details of her face and the accessory are sharp and clear.

The subjective aesthetic quality of the image is very high, showcasing excellent composition, lighting, and a modern, polished style that resonates with contemporary fashion photography trends.
