This is not my style, but the realy white and the rely black give a great contrast.
Still..... it's not my style ;)

You should receive a special award for bravery..Combining partial desat with a high key portrait..both unpopular techniques on this site.
Since it`s a Partial desat challenge..hopefully voters won`t be too unkind to you.
I love both techniques and really like your portrait in high key..my only criticism is that I would like to have seen it a bit sharper with less softening but it is very 60`s in style and something I would like to see more of on this site.
Well done

Beautiful portrait! I like high-key used a lot. I think I may have tried to keep a little more definition around the nose, but I am not familiar with doing this at all, so it may not be possible. The eyes are perfectly focused.

Comment by difarnecio:
what happened to her nose. The highlights are completely blown out. Contrast is way too high. The flowers are more distracting than complimentary. sorry.

Comment by Gareth:
A little to overexposed I think. I can see why you made the choice (I think) but I think you have gone a little too far...

Still a good image.

What an absolutely stunning model, just stunning. Great photo, love the harsh lighting and the more subtle level of colour rather than something too bright. 10
