Very stunning portrait. Great lighting and she has some lovely catchlights in her eyes that draw the viewer in. This photo has lovely jewel tone colors of blue and purple that drape and frame her face. Well done.

nice eyes...I wonder if the bg was a different texture/colour if this would have been stronger...

Gorgeous lighting. Incredible eyes. The choice of bg color is inspired. This is an incredible portrait.

Comment by Bear_Music:
This is a lovely image, but the umbrellas in the eyes are really, REALLY unfortunate :-( It's like she's an android or something, with some sort of disk-shutter sliding down over her pupils. You can get away with umbrella reflections in eyes, as long as they don't eclipse the pupils, but this is just... unfortunate :-(

In all other respects, wonderful image and lovely woman :-)

Yep - in a shot like this focus is critical. Zapped if you had posted this one. Im all for abstracts and blur..but your subject here has to be in focus and the bird in front, the one our spectator is looking at, is very important.

My problem with this one was how yellow the bird was. It's a great catch, but he's just so yellow...
