nice play of light on her face

from the little I have read about portraiture, I thought 3/4 back side lighting was for men, and for corporate kind of power photos, but this is interesting and different, not so sure about the light catching her nose or all the hot white of her jacket, but clearly there is a strong, good feeling that your photo gives

I fully agree with Gibson's comments and still, as well, I like this portrait.

I like it... the light, dof, all. She have a distant but innocent expresion that i like. Congrats.

good pose, well done.

I love the expression of her eyes

I may be a country hick because I wasn't aware that we should photograph men and women differently (should we?). All I know is that I like this, and the pose/lighting doesn't suggest to me that you should have asked her brother to pose instead...

Well done! I like the DOF and her beautiful expression. Good framing as well.

Beauty all over.

I really like the mood here.

Thanks

I don't really use rules about lighting.
