I like this. I do prefer the coloring in Brad's edit, although I'd tone down the red in her face (in his edit) just a tiny bit. LOVE her long hair though!!! Don't let her cut it. :-)

Wow... she looks to be some kind of egyptian goddess or something. :-)

I do think you've taken the skin softening just a little too far (and perhaps slightly inconsistently ... look at the skin of her right hand versus everything else).

But overall I love the colors, lighting, posing and background. It's a keeper!

I like the pose and lighting and mostly like the softness (down on her body especially) but it keeps bugging me that her right side of her head has gone so soft so quickly. There is more detail in her right shoulder than her ear, for example, and that's sending me mixed signals. So if this is an edit, then maybe a little history brush or small amount of masking up on her head around the ear would fix things right up (at least for me).

Composition, colors, lighting and pose, all work very nicely on this one.

I like this pose (the angle of her body to the camera), but the cropping of the last one I saw/commented on.

Yes! The hand placement works better here. It shows off the ring without hiding everything else. I'd work on having her gentle curl her fingers os something ... you want her to present herself with a little more of a "dainty look". Also, turning her body at an angle to the camera be nice.

I think what separates this from the one I said was my favorite is that she is more "straight on" here. The other one had her hand on the ground, forcing her to lean at an angle and that angle gave her some added dimension. I do like that you can see he bouquet in this one. Still great focus on the eyes and smile.

If her left hand were being used to gentle touch that strand of hair on her left side it would still show off the ring without looking awkward and without hiding the details in her dress along the bust line.
