It can be on magazine's front page. Excellent presentation!

Exceptional capture and processing. Beautiful.

Just beautiful!

really good portrait, strong crop! like it

nice crop factor. works well with the monochrome effect

This would make a strong fashion shot and could be used in many commercial endeavors. It's a powerful angle and very engaging. I don't tend to like crops like this but I know they are popular and that's just a personal matter. I find the black around the eye a bit much but I sense you may have wanted that level of drama. The stripe on her nose feels a bit off and her hair is a bit unflattering in that it looks as though it could be gray.

Fred - Elena's fashion and glamour photos have appeared in numerous publications. She has also sold many to stock photo companies.

From her LinkedIn bio . . .  For 6 years I photograph professionally. I specialize in glamour, fashion and beauty photos for magazines, booklets and advertising. Nude Art and Portrait are the priority genres of my creative research.

Re: the crop. If you're going to crop an eye, crop it all. That tiny little bit of her right eye bothers me.

Otherwise, I find this image professionally made and generally pleasing.

I'm not sure why you're pointing that out to me. I said it would make good fashion photography . . . and that's what Elena does.

A beautiful exposure, lovely composition. Everything feels just right and all I want to say is that I'd love to see this in a huge printed form hanging in a spanking new gallery rather than on my tiny screen. Well done.
