Iris

A Beautiful model here and with very innocent expression on her face which is so connecting with the viewers, you lighting is superb and so the details and skin tone you brought out are remarkable.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year.

I am most partial to redheads, and especially ones with green eyes! (even if they are green with contacts).

She is utterly gorgeous John and the pose is perfect. Her eyes are right on the top horizontal third where they belong. If I may make a few suggestions. The highlights on her skin are perhaps just a little too light and the smoothing overdone. I am sure she probably has a "peaches and cream" complexion, but her skin looks too smooth here, almost mannequin-like.

beautiful portrait of a stunningly beautiful model.  Her expression is captivating. There is innocence there (as mentioned by someone else) but also a hint of anguish, some sorrow maybe? she is very expressive and it seems her face can convey a extraordinary wide range of emotions. I do not find her skin overly processed but i would suggest that the part of her arm that is exposed may be a bit of a distraction, i would rather see this cropped out and see only her sweater.  But that REALLY is nit picking.  Nicely done.

Wow great shot.  Nicely exposed.  

And wonderful looking young woman! Well posed and has something special in her melancholy look!

Living proof that we must save the Redheads! Even when their skin is a bit magenta :)

Lovely portrait and expression, wonderful eyes.

"Living proof that we must save the Redheads!"

Can I get an amen, brother Les! Most beautiful women on the planet, no doubt about it, especially if their hair is a little curly and they have freckles!!!
