Your work with this model is always outstanding,EXCELLENT portrait,top marks,Harry

Very nice composition and contrast.

Andrew.... With all of the different settings offered, I've come to the conclusion that this young lady cannot make a bad photograph.  Either that or you are very good.... maybe it's both :-).... Mike

Splendid composition and light.

Gorgeous model !

On a side note, I like the model-photographer harmony, observed in your other creations as well...

Congrats !

Beautiful face, she has lovely eyes and you've captured her perfectly. 

Andrew,

She is a very beautiful girl. You have focused very well on her eyes. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer). I love her expression. There is a bit of sensuality in it -- just a hint -- very nice. The broad lighting works very well with her lovely thin face. You have her turned at a very good angle to the camera. It makes her look thin, feminine, graceful and elegant. The background is nicely neutral and she is well separated from it. Even though the color of her dress is reddish, I don't thing it draws attention away from her face. The raspberry color isn't really that bright.

Her skin tone is very good, but I would have expected to see more highlights on her face -- bridge of her nose, forehead and perhaps high on her cheeks. Even though there are very nice shadows, the lighting looks somewhat flat with the lack of highlights.

If you look carefully at her nose you will notice that you had a retouching problem around her nostrils. They almost look closed. You have lost detail in that area.

Her make-up looks very good, but the eyeshadow on her right eye goes up toward the outside corner of her eyebrow. It doesn't on her left eye. That may be a retouching error -- not a make-up error.

You have two catch lights in each eye. One catch light per eye is preferred. Her catch lights would give more life to her eyes it they were more pronounced. 

She needs better posture. She looks a bit slumped over. She should be standing up straight with her shoulders back and her chest out.

You should crop a bit off the left side. Your subject should have more room in front of her than behind so that she is facing into the picture rather than out, but not quite this much. You want to compositionally balance the left and right sides of the photograph. The compositional "rule" for this suggests that you position the tip of the subject's nose in the vertical center of the photograph. This little rule almost always works well.

Nice shot,

Mark
