I really like this shot John. The lighting is very good, with a good ratio to provide good modeling.

A suggestion. The high values on the left side of her face seem a little high to me. By using PS curves, I dropped them a little bit, providing even better modeling.

What do you think?

Excellent, good expression. Congratulations.

Jeeez John this one is fantastic capture. I love the fact the eyes are tack sharp. At first I thought I saw a catch light but realized I was looking at the reflection of you guys in her eyes. Nice B&W conversion as well. I don't mind the light on the left hand side (right of her face). Your version makes her skin silky smooth as the darker version makes her skin a bit textured.

Although...... there is quite a bit of lens distortion on the left and topside of the photo...... JUST KIDDDING!!!

Great shot.

Really wins all rates! Top portrait shot, unbeatable with respect to compo, light, tones, and focus. I like also the masterful and superb pose, which apt here. Bravo.

John, congratulations for this excellent portrait, I love the post-processing and softness, nice pose and extraordinary work in her beautiful eyes.

I can see two talents, yours and her. 7

Hi John you did a very good job here and the model as well, but I agree with  Scott Murphy.........Vgood

Thanks all guys! I appreciate all your comments and suggestions. Scott thanks for taking your time to work on the picture suggesting an improvement. My original interpretation was to render pale soft skin, as most girls prefer this!!. But after seeing your interpretation, I must admit it looks bolder and with more punch. I really like it as the modelling of the face looks better. Best wishes to all my friends!

i like this portrait, expecially the focus on her eyes. rate 6
