Once again, wonderful work ... Great light and composition ... My only doubt is if that fading effect on the left sleeve is adding to the otherwise stunning effect or not ... Cant decide ...

From first thumbnail look I knew that this must be seen larger to appreciate the real value.Splendid brown eyes with excellent light,is elegant and distinguished posture,imo all elements fit so well here than nothing more to say than admire that piece of art and send you my compliments with max appreciation.

Great 3-D lighting pattern, facial and color contrast.  Her eyes have great impact.  An image this strong gets a 6 rating from me.  What keeps it from a 7 is the following: shoulder decoration is distracting, the thing on top of her head does not look like it adds anything, and the visual information from  below her bodice on down does not support or add strength, meaning or balance to the top two thirds.  I would prefer to see this in a portrait crop starting below the scoop of her bodice to the top of the frame.

This is an astonishingly good portrait - the lighting is perfect, the pose and expression amazing. Everything is right here. Beautiful.
