nobody can understand, mysterious expression, when looking to her for more than 2 minutes...try it...really it might took long time to capture this shot...

A very pretty model, and you have captured the mood of your title perfectly.

Very "Diane Chambers" from Cheers! Well lit shot.

Great image and subject... I may have like the skin tones a bit warmer but otherwise very well done... :)

Very nice shot. Her look is worth a thousand words.

I like it. The expression seems to reveal something about her. Something makes me think it's a skosh out of focus, but maybe it's the highlight on her bangs. 7

One of my two favorite images in this challenge. Absolutely beautiful model, great lighting. I love the colors in the hair, and the eyes, and the lips, all against the dark blue. Stunning image, and could very well be a winner. Definately going in my favorites. <10>

Looks good even without the smile

Not to go against the title, but it would have been better if she was smiling.

This is exactly the kind of look my wife gives me when I try to take her picture! LOL!

She doesn't look too happy, a bit sad. Great capture of these emotions. The background suits her, nice choice. I wonder what it would look like if you cropped just above the dress line on the sholder. It seems a bit distracting to me.

Nice portrait of a pretty woman. I like the composition and background.

She is a very pretty girl and this could be a senior portrait.

A few minor details that you might want to think about:

Limit distractions. If you must use jewelry, make sure the clasp is hidden.

PS out those tan lines or use body make-up before the shoot.

The make-up and hair are very nice. Nice portrait!

She's just beautiful! I'm not sure a smile is needed for an amazing portrait like this :)

a little too soft...

Beautiful pose and expression. However the focus is off, looks like the camera focused on her shoulder.

Too soft of focus throughout and that black area behind the lovely model distracts the eye.

Very nice portrait. It seems very soft towards the face. I wish she would have smiled too. It looks like she has one hidden in there somewhere. Unless she is like my model and got tired of smiling after a while. :) Good Luck~Roni
