This portrait really caught my eye as I was purveying the new posts---very very nice!! Lovely Model too!! Very pretty eyes and nice shape of her mouth !! As I said--A lovely model --looks very feminine and very well groomed !!

You've worked with the black of the setting very well - A lovely portrait of a lovely model, well done.

beautifully done gary, but a little stiff in the pose

Lots of personality conveyed through her eyes and expression. Well done, I say.

Notice the hairlight. That's the way to get depth and lift the model off the background. Well done!

Very well lit, and as they say..... the eyes have it.

Overall, I like this very much. Great lighting and a wonderful look in the model's eyes. I am, however, distracted by the model's left hand. Her spread fingers draws my eyes away from her face, and the spread also makes here fingers look short. I have heard spread fingers like this refered to as "cow udders." Picky, I know. Don't let the single comment distract from an overall very lovely portrait.

Thanks for all of your kind and generous comments.
