Studio shot - converted to B&W with Photoshop. Again, first attempt

at studio lighting. Any thoughts??

Nice photograph! (and a nice girl) And Minolta Dimage can do this? Oh!

I enjoy stating the obvious, so... The first thing I am drawn to are her eyes. They come over very strong anc clear. Next I'm drawn to her lips that are slightly open to reveal just a hint of her teeth beneath. Then her forhead and neck seem to come over very clear

One of the best portraits I've seen recently!. The detail in the bright skin is perfect... and the sharpness of the eyes.

Too much light for me, I like a face with shade in it ;-)

Looks like a still from a 1950's science fiction movie. She's watching a giant ant eat a subway car, or is hypnotized by an oscillating UFO ray beam.

I don't think originality means much in a photo like this. What matters is that you have taken a very appealing photograph with good composition, tonal range and sharp clarity. A very professional image.

Lighting is great, it looks like a simple soft key and kicker setup. You may have been able to push the crontrast and shadows by putting in some neg fill opposite your key, a lot of people can get this very wrong, you havent

I don't understand some of the ratings. What do people want out of a portrait. This has expression, style, impact ..... it is very good.

this is definitely one of the most beautiful portraits on this site, maybe also due to the model, i mean i'm sorry man the photo is absolutely great, but the model is just great, the way she looks has something special!!! very nice"
