Great shot - she has a very unusual expression on her face (almost a 'come hither' glance).

Funny, I saw this and thought "This is awesome". =)

Very nice. Love the way the face stands out. Good to see you shooting again.

Comment by KevinRiggs:
Well, I think here is where I would rather see more of one thing or another. I love the definition that's in the shot but I wish that if you were going to preserve the range that I see in the tones you'd toss a little blur at it and create more of a hazy, dreamy effect. It looks like you might have been a couple of steps farther away and thus produced a slightly deeper DoF on this shot; then again it may be the angle she's standing at. Either way, without a hazy effect this is the type of shot where I'd like to see those solid black tones take over more of the image than they currently have so that the lighter tones almost feel like they are coming sneaking out of them.

On a different tack, I love the treatment you applied here.

Great DoF. Doesn't look like you processed the skin at all; now I'm wondering if you did anything to it. The cooler hues seem to lend themselves well to the fabric but I'm not sure that I like it with her skin. Great definition in her hair and eyes. I like the crop as the portrait orientation confuddles the angle of her gaze.

David,
I like the elements you mentioned in this one, too. What do you think about maybe cropping it even tighter. Since you've already gotten into her hands and head what about bringing the left & right sides in a little more and pulling the bottom up a little to try and maintain a roughly square shape. Her look and left eye are strong on this shot. I love the clarity you got especially with the shadows and strands of hair.

Personally I just love it!
The light really is eye catching. It's beautiful and special.
The only thing I would probably try to play with is that shadow the nose is creating on her cheek. Not that it's bad or anything, just... I suppose a matter of personal liking.

Beautiful, but maybe a little too dark in the darker areas.

I like the lighting. I like how it just highlights her face. Katie is a very beautiful woman! I am sure it was a pleasure working with her, she looks very relaxed and just a natural beauty.
