Two floods positioned at 2 and 8. Please let me know what you think.

Nice, sharp and well lit picture.

This is an arresting portrait of a waifishly beautiful girl/woman, diminished solely by a shadow under her chin. You should have eliminated the shadow by repositioning your floods.

hope you get to work with her more, and with better lighting

 

I like the expression and the background color compliments her well. It seems to be a bit oversharpened or something though...the whites of her eyes are too white. Also, I have to agree with the shadow opinions...one on her chest and a sharp one under her chin.

Beautiful eyes. Strange shadows going on with the neck. The background doesn't do anything for her with the color being so close to her hair color.

I disagree with the previous background comment. I think it suits her well, especially her eyes. After seeing your self portraits folder, I'm a little jealous of her being in front of your camera.

Overall: Stunning subject with arresting eyes. I like the overall gold colour of this photo. A nice matching of the backround and the hair. I would have preferred if she had worn a lighter blouse, but sometimes we can't choose.

 

Lighting: The lighting is catchy, however underscored due to the shadows on the neck and below the eyes. A reflector would have taken care of those.

 

A nice effort by the photographer and model.
