Not bad for a square picture

Magnifico retrato, excelente mirada y expresion captada asi como una luz y tonos sensacionales. felicidades. ++

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

I would like to see more solid red at the bottom. Otherwise...spot on focus. Nice model. She looks comfortable in front of your lens.

I feel a personal connection with the woman.  The way the soft red scarf frames her face draws my attention to her eyes.  It as if she is looking directly at me.  There are no other distractions in the photography.  It is all about the subject.  The composition is very effective.

Great work!! beautiful lighting congrats

Not bad? It’s really good. Lighting and color scheme are attractive. The eyes and straight look of the beautiful model have enhanced the attention-value of the image. Solid red at the bottom may increase the red-black contrast, but dark bottom with vignette-effect has enriched the red glow surrounding the face.  Best regards.

Excellent and very compelling portrait. The color palette works well and the light is subtle and yet beautifully done.  Regards - michel

really very good work...congrats

OUTSTANDING work Andrew,Excellent eye contact and skin tone,that red round the face  sets everything off,the soft red at the bottom and the vignette make her face stand out,thi is the best crop so far,all the top marks,Harry

Superb portrait Andrew! I'm no expert on portraits, but I know quality work when I see it, and this is top notch!

All the best,
Neil

mágica luz, excelente retrato. max.a. Saludos

Top maks for this work, Andrew.  I have a hunch you could photograph Klaudia in a Rhomboid, and produce terrific results.

Too all of you – thank you very much for your encouraging remarks. It feels good when your work is appreciated but it feels particularly wonderful to be appreciated by such remarkable people like you. Thanks a lot.

Too Sumon and Joseph

My first impression was to leave more red at the bottom but I like this image more. I was not sure why until Sumon explained it to me.

This is excellent; very artistic.

very good work, well done

For me , the added red at the bottom adds more weight and therefore more balance. But in the end, all that matters is what you and the model like. Either way very beautiful.

Joe

Wonderful, ethereal quality to this portrait. Superb. Regards, Jana

Excellent portrait!

Beautifully done! You and the model will look back on this fondly for many years. For the record, I do like it better with more at the bottom, but that is just being nit picky. Bravo!

It is my  favorite. Tender, clear, you can to read  the nice human  soul. Excellent. This is a  photography art. Ed

Andrew,

  Beautiful portrait with wonderful lighting & expression.   The scarf framing her face makes for a beautiful photo.  Take care, Patsy

There is no arguing with the Megapixels. For me this portrait is reason enough for leaning toward the Medium format's resolution. Fine camera. Fine composition. Somewhat excessive make-up. Superlatively photogenic face, with the hairline and the dimple perfectly counterposed. A most rare boon.

Igor,

Thank you very much for the complements.

An arresting portrait. I am puzzled by the slanting line passing under the girl's chin.
