Very artistic portrait. Great makeup and artwork. Congrats.

Tore, This is very interesting with the applied jewelry. I like the way it winds up her neck and frames her wonderfully made up left eye. Impeccable detail and color.  

Tore,

She is a beautiful girl. You have focused well on her eyes. Her skin tone is very good. I love the make-up -- quite professional and creative. The lighting is good and the backlight helps to separate her from the background. I like the specular highlights on her lips. The background is nicely neutral and she is well separated from it.

It appears she is looking slightly above and to the right (her left) of the camera. If not making eye contact with the camera (viewer), the eyes should follow the line of the nose. It is natural to look where your head is pointing. If looking off to the side you should show what she is looking at or provide a reason that she is not looking where her head is pointing. It is best to have at least some of the whites of her eyes showing on each side of her irises. This helps to make her eyes look balanced.

One catchlight per eye is preferred. You should remove the bottom one.

Be careful of split profiles. You do not want the tip of her nose to come close to touching the far cheek line. You want to make sure the far eye is either completely showing or not showing at all. You do not want to have the bridge of her nose cut into her far eye.

Your subject should have more room in front of her than behind. This allows her to be facing into the picture, not out of it. 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. By positioning the tip of her nose in the vertical center of the photograph you not only have her facing into the picture, but you have good left and right compositional balance. This little rule almost always works well. At least it gives you a good starting point from which to subtly adjust your composition to make it visually balanced.

Nice shot,

Mark

original make up, interesting portrait, beautiful model

best regards

Really beautiful work again, Tore!

Thank you all for your comments I'm appreciate them a lot. Mark an extra thanks to you for your time and effort to give deep feedback on the shoot.

Best regards Tore

Wonderful portrait....and I love the "ornamentation" on the model. I do understand Mark's comments but I think this photo works quite well as it is. Tore, you demonstrate great expertise with skin tones, lighting and background in all your photos. Bravo!

What a beautiful work! Bravi!!! You and her!...Ciaomau!

Ahhh, connect the dots and you have a beautiful shot!  A unique presentation with your usual excellent lighting and detail... Mike

Although rather discrete, the earring is a little too much for my taste. The rest is SUPERB! I personally like this image format. Congrats to you, the MUA and the model! Regards, Alain

Thanks you all for your comments I'm appreciate them a lot.

Alain, the ear ring was a concern for all of us too it get a high reflecting surface and steals attention, so we decided to shoot half of the session with it and then take it of, there will be more shoots from this sere posted later and probably some without earring.

Best regards Tore

I'm looking forwards to see your next posts from this serie then! Regards, Alain

I have only one thing to say about this portrait... Fantastic....

Great work

Best Regards, Jill

Another beautiful portrait, but I must say that I prefer the original to the cropped version in which the hairline disappears, though I commend the effort to examine the photo in such detail. 

Great and interesting work!!!

Hello Tore:

The jewelry still can't pull me away from her...her eyes in particular. You have the talent to really draw the attention to where you want it to go. This presentation is very creative.

Thank you for sharing this photo.
