Hi Marina,

I like this image very much although I think you are guilty of a sin that plagues my portrait photography!  That is, for me, the face is too evenly lit resulting in a very shadowless face.  This makes things look quite flat (i.e. lacking a 3D feel.  The image is relying on DoF to create three dimensions which is a little lost by the white skin.  Did you use a black and white conversion on the red channel for this image?

Her eyes are beautiful with really nice makeup applied. I love her pose (in fact, I think I may borrow it!) and she has really nice contact with the camera.

Hope I have not offended you!

Thanks for your comments James and don't worry I'm not offended at all :D I used a plug in to convert to b/w and she's so pale and light was so difuse that almost flattened the image ( I can see some shape pn my screen but this is perhaps due a different calibration or similar thing :P ) Anyway I always apreciate comments to improve and of course you can borrow the pose! Although she's not even amateur model she did an excellent job!
