John, Stunning and very elegant work! Very alluring expression, lusciously soft light, wonderful skin tones, the wardrobe and the amount of body exposure, the placement of the necklace - it is all perfect. Instant fave!

Best Regards,

Peter

Thank you Peter, much appreciated ..

As Peter pointed out, very classy shot, well thought out and executed. Love the gaze into the camera, DOF and tones. 

Nice portrait John. Works well in black & White. Congrats.

Most Elegant... I like the soft b/w conversion too and the creamy skin tones.

John.  Lovely portrait.  The tonal range is great and I like the DOF.  I also like how the hard shiny necklace contrasts with the more subtle skin tone.  All the best.  Dana...

Elegant is a perfect description. I would also add "a moment in time perfectly captured" to quote Patrick Demarchelier.

Elegant and dramatic! The impact of the pose/facial expression is significantly enhanced by the contrast from her blouse. my compliments to both you and the beautiful model.
