Great Work Karen.7/7.Warm regards,Janusz.

Lovely image.

A technical problem. The image needs cropping. The top of the subjects dress needs to be eliminated. The eye goes to it and for no reason. If the bottom edge was just above the top of the dress it would be a very pleasant and enjoyable image.

Very lovely, but I wish there was a bit more light on the hair.

I agree with Jeremy. I think I would like the photo a little better if you could see all of her head and none of her dress.

The only problem I have with this foto is that the hair blends in with the background. You might consider using a hairlight when shooting brunettes against a black background.
