Beautiful eyes that reveal the deeper aspects of character. The low key effect works well because it places the emphasis on the white and the pupils. The dark tonal values accentuate the lips and lend a very pleasant contour to the nose. It is a lovely gaze. Bumping up.

Lovely shot, very delightful and inviting gaze. I just wish your eyes were a bit more lit to see them, I think that would have captured the views gaze. Superb work!

First of all... just a really beatiful model. I really like the image and focus is good. The only thing I don´t like it the earing which is a little bit distracting. I wanna see it after neatimage treatment, because I really like the effect of neatimage in portraits. Just a good portrait and one of the princess of dpchallenge. 9

i don't mind the low-key approach, but I'd like to see a little more contrast, especially in your eyes. raising your light source (or - if it's the sun - angling your head towards the light) would help some i think. nice to see another one (there are very few) that faces the challenge head-on. lots of half-faces and blurred faces etc out there.

Very deep eyes and such an oval face created with the angle and crop. Good luck with this lovely self portrait
