Critiques appreciated.

Nice lighting on torso. Not enough on face.

Agree on the comment about the light on her face. I like the bright spot on the top left but maybe tone it down a tad, I find it a bit distracting. Because her face is so dark the bright spot is competing with it. Like the pose though, very natural.

For me it somehow displays a huge amount of warmth and overall softness. Great background.

The beauty of this photo is in the relaxed, contemplative mood, created by the dof and the pose and expression. I "tampered" with it to make it a bit warmer and lighten up her face a little. Maybe I overdid it? Just a try! Regards Lennart

Absolut perfect, I love the original version

The intent of this image is more formal/fine art than glamour. The facial shadow is in integral part of this, it makes the face/eyes "stand out" less and therefore lets the viewers eye roam over the rest of the image.

classically beautiful! I adore it! quick question I notice a slight posterization on the upper left hand side was it intentional ? if it was It worked if not it still works. Mandy

It was not intentional.

Ok, I see what you mean. Sorry, no offense intended, just that I liked your photo and couldn't keep my fingers off ... Regards Lennart

No problem. I take it as a compliment
