Very nice- but you need to control the shadows on the side of her face. That kind of lighting might work well for male portraits, but there should be more roundness and softness of light for a female portrait.

Very nice Ari! I'm sure that the print is even better!

Just plain radiant. I'm sure the technical critiques are spot on, but the glow of that smile pushes such concerns into the background.

great combination....your compositional skills and her sheer beauty. Well done!

I actually like the lighting. It helps me focus on her facial expression, which is one of joy and happiness. Great portrait, Ari.

Thank you guys for your comments. That is how she normally smiles and laughs and very often too. Scott, you might be right, but I am not sure what's really wrong with this lighting. I have many books on studio lighting and know the techniques but I mostly use the modelling lights on the strobes and polaroids and visually decide what I want.
