Love it. Love the expression, the tilt of the head, the overall pose, the lighting, the makeup the hint of nudity. I'm really trying to think of something negative to say ... maybe the grey background is rather dull? Would a color work better? Or just black? Maybe add a hint of a vignette on the edges?

Many thanks Ken, a valid point, but it's just my sitting room wall and window light .. usually there is furniture around when I do this kind of shot, but it's outside of the field of vision in this case. I make the case for photographing models in a natural environment where they feel at ease, but I admire others' studio work in which the possibilities are unlimited.

Just about perfect. Something for the cover of a book of images. She is a natural as well.

Wonderful photo with beautiful lighting. As Ken notes, I am having a hard time finding negative commentary. A personal preference is that I’d like to see more light/definition on the hair. A more general comment is that there are a few stray hairs along the top and back that could easily be taken care of in post processing. Good job!!
