high calibre work

I'm really no fashion expert, nor am I a great portrait expert either, but I felt compelled to comment simply because of that captivating smile and magnetic pose. It looks very natural and uncontrived and if this image was designed to sell that dress.......you've got a winner! (in my humble opinion)

You've captured that magic twinkle in the model's eyes that sets this shot apart. Don't know if model was quite this "hippy". The dress has a nice swirl and action but kind of accentuated the hips and being black they become massive. Great connection with the model so she seems natural and alive!

Her shadow is perfectly placed with your lighting strategy.  Gorgeous shot.

This is nice...though clearly a studio shot, it has a nice spontaneous feel...the flowing gown and hair really enhance this feel.  Nicely lit, I really like how the light comes in from the left and creates the beautiful rim highlights on her right arm, face, and hair...very nice.  I think though that my favorite thing about this image is your model's infectious smile...just great.
