Hi Jaroslaw,

Thanks for sharing.  A good portrait should be honest and intimate.  I think you've definitely succeeded in creating  a beautiful portrait, the subject seems relaxed and genuinely happy. Though i don't know her, i feel a natural and honest connection.  I like the high-key background and think you handled the exposure excellently.  He skin is beautifully lit and the ever-so-slight shadowing on her face gives it a nice depth and contour.  I like the simple consistent pattern of the dress and it translates well to B&W and contrasts nicely with her skin.  The only issue i can find is with her missing right arm, i wish it weren't hidden behind her so drastically.  Other than that, this is a great shot.  Good job!
