Gasp! This is truly mesmerizing. I love the warm soft tones so much. To me, it looks like a museum painting!

Thanks for sharing your lighting diagrams. What a great study in how people get their beautiful effects.

I really like this one. The best of all of yours so far maybe. I love the texture you can still see in the skin -- and the detail -- ohmy. . it is fabulous! Captivating indeed.

How beautiful. The light right on him is so pretty how it makes his eyes light up the room. So the reflector that was opposite the main light -- which was on the baby, right? -- was it behind him? To me, it looks like lighting perfection, so a good thing to do. I generally tend to have my main light on the subject, but my reflector is adjacent at a 90-degree angle opposite a window.

I like it. Edgy & artsy with a flare of "bad boy" to enhance "the look".

The model needs no critiquing. She's gorgeous. And this is a very cool portrait. The only thing I would have done differently is maybe clone out the stray hairs. Sorry if that's already been mentioned and you might be sick of hearing it. I always try to comment before reading what anyone else wrote.

I think its beautiful!

Ohmygoodness! What an amazing shot. I am in love with this photo. This is nature so at its best. Especially with that stunning light and background!

I would never have noticed them had you not mentioned them. Her eyes and that radiant smile totally dominate the photo to where you wouldn't notice the barely noticeable stray hairs. Unless you were an anal dpc voter of course :) As for me? I vote this 10!

Ooooooohhh. . .help it did! Woo Hoo! I'm all proud to have had even a small part in the outcome of THIS! WOW! I thought she looked so beautiful with the red backdrop and the red hair, but sheeeeeesh, this snow bunny look on the green background is to DIE FOR! And that clarity trick is pretty cool, huh? I do believe this is my favorite so far!
