Nice studio shot. Your model's expression is hard to read, and doesn't really seem to convey the "warmth" from the title. Lighting and exposure are good, and the pose is well done. A bit more light from the left side would make things seem a bit less stark.

I think the border is a bit too wide. Besides that, I really like this shot. The slight shadow cast by something out of sight on the left is maybe a bit distracting. The pose is cliche but it works well with her facial expression. Alsom the colors are great! 8

this is pure pro. beautifully lit, nicely posed, though maybe a little still or unnatural or something. the model's expression is fantastic - she looks comfortable in front of the camera, which speaks volumes about the photographer in my mind. i could do without the bevelled inside edge on the border, but that's not something i'd deduct points for by any means. well done.

Oh my goodness! This is stunning! I hope you are doing portraiture for a living, because you certainly have the gift! The frame really adds to this too! How could anyone give this anything but a 10! If I could give a 10+ I would!

A great portrait type shot here! Like the pose and setup you've used here. Not too keen on the border though... 8

An exceptional portrait with equally exceptional lighting and exposure. The added props are well chosen.

I'm not sure about the title on this one...nor the extraneous objects (those leaves are distracting, as is the wicker)... but SHE is divine! Lovely skin tones, great shadowing, and her expression and pose is perfect. I would've cropped the bit of skin showing in the lower right corner, but that's just me. I guess it's kinda making my eye wanna wander outside the shot ahaha...which isn't a BAD thing, no no. The first thing my eyes gravitate towards is her eyes...she's a beauty, and this is a beautiful shot. Thanks!!

Great portrait, expression and pose are wonderful, not sure how the basket and plants relate to the subject, but still, really nice work. -8

It wouldn't matter what props you had she is so beautiful that it would look good no matter what. LOL...great shot!

To much shadow on the left side.

This is simply one of the best portraits in the challenge. But, I think the large white border is wasted here.
