A beautiful shot. Perefect selective focus. Congrats.

This is a lovely composition, I love the look on her face, the lighting is delicate and well balanced.  The depth of field is just right.  The only thing that my eyes keep drawing towards is the shadow on her forehead, personally I think it would look better without.

Otherwise great work. 

Quite the beautiful image and model.

The lighting and the model's face make this picture that!

Very nice and interesting photograph with great atmosphere. Perhaps it would sustain more of the "natural" feeling to it if the woman's face was a bit less post-processed, but it's only my personal taste.

Hi Fred! Perfect! This is an absolutly wonderful portrait. One of your best.

Very good concept and shot. Admirable composition,exposure and light.
