Ottimo lavoro!!!!

Fabrizio, 

She is a beautiful girl with a lovely expression. It makes her look very innocent and likable -- with just a hint of sensuality. You have focused well on her eyes. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer). Her make-up looks very good. The background is nicely out of focus and she is well separated from it. Her skin tone is very good. The composition is excellent. I like the idea of framing her face with her hands.

You have a major problem with her hands. They take up a very large part of your image. There are reasons why the viewer's eyes will go to her hands rather than her face. Her right hand is lighter than her face. Attention will be drawn to the lighter areas of the portrait. Her right hand almost looks like a fist. A fist is a masculine pose for the hand. Avoid having the back of the hand towards the camera. The edge (side) of the hand towards the camera is thinning, feminine and graceful.

Notice her left hand. You can see all of her first finger and a little of her other fingers past the middle knuckles. This looks quite natural. Notice her right hand. For the most part you can't see any of her fingers past the middle knuckles. She almost looks like an amputee. This is similar to cropping at a joint -- something you don't usually want to do. It is best to show more of the fingers.

Compared to her face, her hands look larger than they should. Be careful of foreshortening. Watch for anything closer to the camera than the body. If nearer the camera than her body her feet, knees, hands, elbows and shoulders will look out of proportion to the rest of the body -- larger than normal -- foreshortened.

Be careful of light skimming across her face. You don't want patches of her face lit differently than the rest. Uneven hard lighting is not as pleasant as even soft lighting.

It would be good to have catch lights to give life to her eyes. I would retouch the dark circles under her eyes -- especially her left eye.

You don't want all those loose hairs falling across her eyes.

The date and you name is not part of the photograph. It would be quite proper to place your name and the date on the mat.

Nice shot,

Mark

Lovely model, great shot. Regards, --George

"A Fabri', ce sa' fa' cor ritratto (alla romana! Hahaha!!!)"! Bravo!

Beautiful shot, love her look and the tones!

Wonderful portrait, Fabrizio...nice expression & tonality...my best

I feel this is a very engaging photograph, very appealing, she connects well with the camera.  I don't know, I never clued in for a moment that her right hand looked as if it was amputated. The hairs in front of her eyes don't bother me at all....many women wear their hair like that, it's part of a 'hairstyle'....but what do I know, I think it is a great shot.  Congrats, Gail

Very natural and nice portrait Fabrizio! Bravo!

Best regards Sadegh

Great shot!

Questa me l'ero persa.Molto bella.

Ho letto il commento di Mark e come sempre mi è sembrato di assistere ad una lezione da manuale sul ritratto .
