A very cool looking art/fashion style of photo. Great posing by your model to give an interesting mood to the photo. Excellent!

beautiful portrait, good lighting to make her skin very white but not making it too bright.

Lovely capture with good tonal values. My cropping choice is to close on the left so as to make the downward pensive glance speak even louder. 7

Beautiful!!! This is a superb portrait. My only nitpick might be that I feel it could do with a hint of more shadow on the right hand side where the light is very bright....but I honestly am just taken aback by it as it is. Wonderful model.

Theres a nice symmetry here with the darklightdarklight stripes and the blown candy center of this.

The bright orange draws you in first and lets the eyes wander down over the dark vane, leading into the blown and info-less rachis with the thin barb details. The detail then becomes a glorious study in the soft rigidity of a feather. It's like the curves of a woman, soft yet unyielding and firm when necessary. The hint of orange shining through is lovely, and the eye is softly let down to the lower dark portions.

Overall I really like it as a composition and a detail study, but it lacks a real focal point, or and anchor to really keep the eyes trapped on this view. There's an overall slow, sensual feel to the study, but it fails to deliver the final blow somehow. Unfortunately, I can't grasp an idea of how to make that happen within the context of the study, it's on the tip of my tounge, but It's not coming. If I think of something, I'll try to revisit the issue.

Lovely bw portrait. I like the high key feel to it, even though it probably isn't technically a high key picture.
