This is a classic pose and her expression is almost perfect. Her chin is tilted just a bit high, could bring it down just a bi so we aren't looking up her nose so much ;)t. Also the lighting seems rather flat, leaving her skin with a dull look. And it looks like there is purple on her hair or neck on the left? Not sure where that came from. A 5

Lighting: Well done, with perfectly expressive catchlights.
Pose: The pose is well done, but I think tilting her head toward the camera and then moving the camera up to just above eye level would have been more expressive without the foreshortening.
Background: The solid black is well done, but a lighter color would have conveyed 'pleasant' more clearly.

Beatiful lady in a simple elegant pose, nicely light. Not much you can do to improve on this! The only thing I find distracting is the purplish object between her hair and rist in the center of the shot. Is it the color of her shirt? A shirt underneath?

Good lighting, detail, use of "blocks" of color/shapes.

I see lots of halo's around the every object in the image which spoils it for me. Otherwise it's a great sharp car with great color, shown in the setting of an event.

Natural looking pose and expression on your model and I like your angle of view. Colors and skin tones good too. Black background really make your model stand out. Well done.

That is one shiny car. The colors are attractive. I don't know, but this looks like something happened in post processing or maybe camera shake during the exposure but the double outline causes my eyes to hurt. Sometimes neat image helps and sometimes it doesn't. I think in this case it doesn't.

Very nicely done. I would have removed some of the jewelry, except for the watch and ring. Wonderful pose and lighting is effective. :o)

I thought this was really well done. I might have tried to light her face just a fraction more.
