Very interesting composition. I like the simplicity of the theme right down to the basic elements

I love love love the processing (except the NI), the desaturated and faded b/w really works for me. Only thing I would suggest.... if possible its not a good idea to crop the chin. Forehead is great, crop all you want, but for portraits the chin helps to tell us the story of the face, its an important detail that shouldn't be lost... its like cropping the nose. Here, eye detail is great, but you lost the texture in the rest of the skin surface with processing, that's a shame because we know she's a beautiful girl we want to see her REAL skin. :)

This photo immedately made me think of david copperfield and a photo ad I once saw! I agree with the lighting suggestion other than that I think this is very well done.

yes... very bullock-ish. does mr james know you've been sneaking photos of his wife? eh?

i'm going to agree w/ tcguru, though, and suggest you bring down the highlights some. not sure how i feel about the low contrast/washed look over all, but the highlights are a bit too strong...

Awesome photo Hassan! So far my favorite of the day, of the one's I've looked at anyway. I really enjoy the look of this. Maybe it's the gorgeous woman. At any rate, very nice!

Hehe I was thinking in Sandra Bullock too. Nice portrait I'm at am awful monitor right now so can't say anything about the highlights, but overall it looks very good.
