I know parts of it are a little fuzzy, but how about everything else?

It looks a bit red, and dark to my eye. I love the eye behind the hair, though.

Great shot. I don't see the red and if anything I think maybe a tad softer light on her face. Take it as a very humble opinion. Beautiful regardless and best wishes-Jim

thanks Jeff. I scrinted this on someone else's computer, then posted it to photonet. When I brought it home it looked pretty dark, and a little red, so I guess you and I have the same kind of monitor. Jim, apparently, has a different one, more like what I used. Thanks Jim.

Jim's softer light suggestion appeals to me. On my monitor I see more red than I'd like to. But if I had not read the others' comments I think I would have assumed it was her make-up -- her arm appears fine on my monitor. I like the photograph but don't think its anywhere as good as the ones you took of the students.

softer light...hmmmm, I guess it wouldn't hurt. I don't have much of a problem with this light, though. I think she looks gorgeous. The red, .... I don't think I've ever claimed to have a good eye for color, so it might be a problem, indeed, but where do you see it? In her skin? All over? I think her arm could be a lot less tanned, but her face looks ok.

The arm is tanned, neck and upwards is whiter... perhaps because of which the little redness in the face, where the cheekbone is, gets noticed. A little redness on the forehead but that seems natural. Most marked on left cheek. But as I said, if I had not read the others' comments I would have just assumed make-up. And Doug, I'm a novice on these matters. In PN, Mark Chartrand is the expert on portraiture.

Mark Chartrand! I hope he notices the catch lights, and the less obtrusive logo.
