Tried a darker look for a change ! Your thoughts and comments invited

. Thank you .

The darker look works quite well, William. The image is beautiful, and the model lovely. I love those red lips and blue collar. The catch lights work well too. I might want to see a little more light on the right side to give her head a little definition and some very subtle light behind her to give the image depth. I feel the face is just a tad bit red for my tastes. I know that when I'm editing, every time I adjust contrast or the amount of light on a portrait, the color values of the skin change and I have to make adjustments each time to bring them where I want them. But these are preferences and not absolutes. It's a wonderful portrait that you should feel proud of. David

Thanks David , I agree about the skin tones , I always struggle with colour balance ! Must try harder ! Regards , Bill
