This is a beautiful portrait...it has a nice fashion magazine feel...The lighting seems natural, but carefully controlled.  Great eye contact between your model, camera/viewer...I really like the highlights on her lips...great.  My only complaint, though minor is that her cheeks seem a bit overprocessed...it may just be my monitor though...Great job here. 

Aleksandar,

I have been admirer of your photos since joining Photo.net. This particular model is one of the most serene and beautiful I have seen. Recently I came across a print of a painting done by Maria Stokes in the year 1906-1907. It is of the Madonna and child Jesus. Stokes was in Croatia and used a young Croatian woman as her model.  The young woman in the painting is wearing the traditional garb of an engaged girl. I found the face in the painting very haunting and beatiful as well. It suddenly dawned on me that I had seen a similar face before on Photo.net. And here she is in one of your photographs of her. I am going to try to send you a copy of the painting so you also can be astonished at the similarity.
