Iosif,

Beautiful model, great make-up including eyelashes and fingernails. I like the way you have included the right eyelash in the picture. Many photographers overlook this. The composition is good - the placement of her left hand is wonderful. This really adds to the expression on her facel. It helps justify mood you have created. This sort of reminds me of Laura Mars. Good printing, but the girl's face needs something. Perhaps a bit more shadow, a kicker, specular highlights -- I'm not sure what, but it seems a little ftat? Not much, just a little. Maybe I need my eyes checked or maybe I just can't critique a photograph without trying to find some little thing to improve. I think I better look at your portforlio and perhaps judge your work as a whole. Very nice work!

Merry Christmas to you and Blessed Be,

Mark
