Wonderous things happen going through someone's portfolio.
Clicked on this thumbnail and had no idea what I was in for.

Not sure many portraits on this site, or anywhere else for that matter, have caused so many mixed emotions. Had chills for a second, then felt a warmth, followed by a trance of sorts. Then sat and stared.
As read your comments section, I was deeply moved and can't even begin to describe the overall experience.

Amazing work Julia!

An instant favorite and will be back to revist often!!

Superb portrait here.
Her eyes simply jump off the page!!

My own preference says the earrings are a touch to mature for her, but can see it was part of the desired effect. Well done of the lighting too.

Dang it!

I've come back and looked at this how many times now? LOL
Even wanted to visualize how it would looked framed.

Maybe I'm going to have to re-decorate my house so it will have a place.

Where to look?

Guess I'm the odd guy out in the crowd.
Technically the shot has a lot of merit in the lighting & levels, pose is not to my liking, but that's me.
What does bug me here is the look in her eyes. There is a somewhat "stoned" look in my opinion, and that coupled with the pose, makes the overall appearance look a bit, and forgive my being blunt here, trashy.
An attractive woman's face simply lights up with a genuine smile.
Perfect example of what I am referring to is a shot in your wonderful porfolio:


Just my personal opinion, and my step out on the limb of honesty.

Wow!
How did I miss one before?
It's gorgeous, and was not selected just to make your 100th either.
