Splendid and really elegant "nude portrait"!

Not crazy about the reflection.  I think I would have cropped.

Pure beauty ... !! Congrats

Really beautiful!!

According to Coco Chanel, a woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls... Lovey Image John and she wears her pearls well too :=}

John, having see another photo of her in color I  think I would prefer that to be in color as well, I just loved her skin color, lipstick and eyes.  Wonderful photo anyhow.  Cheers!

John, depite the photo is excellent, I dislike the veins across her chest, what is easy to hide just lightening the blue color to match the overall skin tone in the B/W mix in lightroom. Did you try it? Did you intentionally leave it so?

Well, that is an interesting comment Lato, thank you.

If a girl has a spot in a promient place, I will indeed remove it, it is not a part of her personality and even less  of the composition. However, I not remove veins from a model's skin. My purpose is to create artistic nudes, not works for a glossy magazine. I fully sympathize that others may not agree, but this is my approach.   Best wishes, John
