Theo,

Stunning image, all too frequently I find that portrait subjects don't make a connection with the viewer - this one certainly does. 

I do find the pattern in the upper right tries to take my eye away from the subjects face but I appreciate that might not be something that you could control.

Stunning (yeah I know I said it before).  Well Done!

Thanks Bruce, glad you like it.

The pattern in the upper right is the hammock she's lying in.

Expressive portrait exuding a sense of sensuality from the pose, her facial expression (eyes and lips) and the slight muss of her hair.  Well composed and captured with feeling.

The pose and effect are fine.  You do have some problems with tonality and exposure in the shadows.   Her face especially shows problems in the shadows.  One eye is vanishing and the tonality of the shadows is truncated and distorted.

Excellent posing and expression , Very interesting work

Best regards Theo!

Thanks for the comments, I obviously made some strong color and shadow adjustments to add mood to the scene.

I like the image as is.  Very good work and this image is different from the norm and refreshing.  Looks like it could be used for an advertisement.  Thanks so much for sharing.  Best regards...Brent
