Comment by KevinRiggs:
I like this capture. You got pretty even skin tones given the strong side lighting. The subject's arm on the right side of the photo has just a few places that appear blown out but not so bad as to be a terrible distraction and overall with the strong light you seem to have done an admirable job keeping detail in that arm while not letting deep shadows overrun the rest of the photo. I like the crop even tho it got close to 4 joints (elbows and shoulders) because it doesn't display too much of any joint right at a crop line and it affords a hint of the subject's cleavage (subject's chest on photo left a little blown out). The hair, which seems to be the main focus point when viewed in thumbnail version, takes a back seat to the subject's eye on photo left. Since this is advanced editing I wish you'd lightened it up just a little so we could see more definition there. Maybe a selective curves or a little dodging would have given more definition but either way its easily distinguishable from your submission that it has the main emphasis for a storyline in the photo. The water droplets on the forehead add a depth and texture that truly lifts the photo to another level for me. It helps to separate this shot from being a "good attempt" to "great shot". They are one of those little detail things that you got in this photo and you got them well-exposed without losing too much to the shadows around them. I can understand why you cropped it where you did (at least I'm thinking its to keep some symmetry with the arms in the photo) but its too bad that you miss out on the top/back of the hairline with the hand running through the hair.
I'm interested to know if this was totally a setup shot or was it one of a series in which the subject was moving and active and you just "caught" this one.
Good job.

Wow, a stunning shot. Excellent model, great attitude. Very effective in b&w. Composition is excellent, I love the tilt of the head and the placement of the hands. Great use of water. The hair looks fantastic. Imaginative and effective crop. Only criticism is that in my opinion it is a little overexposed. This may have been intentional, but the effect doesn't quite work for me.

A very subtle B&W shot, very good overall toning. I bet your histogram is covered from right to left pretty evenly :) This pic works for me. Welcome back by the way.....
