 shot using home made continuous ring light (those are the 6 catchlights in her eyes). Had no idea which of the 8 billion shots we took that night to enter, but went with this on the advice of a friend. It seems to be the most DP Friendly one, even though it's not my favourite of the evening by a long shot.

over all like the shot, but too much eye makeup

Very good studio portrait. I'd liked it more if you had put her on the right side or on the left side.

Lovely and suttle smile. I like the "feel" of the wind in her hair. 9.

Looks good. Lighting is right on. Well done.

I like the look, but the eye makeup is a bit distracting... I want to wipe it away from her eye instead of enjoy her beauty.

Nice. I like the hair blowning but that one clump of hair is a little distracting. Otherwise very professional. Gets a 7 from me.

Again, very nice.

lovely girl.
I think I should honestly point out that the photo borders are better without?

UPDATE: bumped up the score.

Great studio shot! Lighting is dead on, great skin tones - wind swept hair is nice addition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/18/2006 07:37:14 PM
excellent!
the hair is blown away real nicely, their blur leads towards the girl's eyes which really adds to this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the hair, composition is a bit centered but nothing to knock points off for. Also, (not knocking points off) clone / healing brush out the tan lines, they pull my eye out towards her shoulders and chest away from those wonderful eyes. Overall this is a beautiful shot in every way that you and the lovely model should be very proud of.

Great portrait, nice use of light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think this could definitley be better in a portrait crop, or not so centred in the frame. Appart from that, nice idea, image, model

This should have been taken with a lower angle, not that much from above, more straight to the model's face, not bad.

She's such a gorgeous model, she doesn't need that turquoise eyemakeup. It almost detracts from the picture

great shot with the wind in the hair effect

Good work except the light ice
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The blur of here hair pulls me away from here face, otherwise nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2006 02:10:12 PM
Cute gal, nice tones... she looks a bit tired though. ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2006 01:01:11 PM
very nice picture. The model seems to touch you with her eyes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2006 08:16:03 AM
Great model, great look and love the use of wind in her hair. However the blue eye makeup is really not working for me. I would have either gone a bit softer with it or over the top and made it more pronounced. Right now it is just kinda distracting and appears un-even. -8-
