A nice pose, but I think the angle should have been a bit higher. Also the lighting doesn't do justice to the color and texture. My preference would be to have the backlight slightly higher and add major and minor front light sources to the left and right. This would bring out more texture in that lovely face.

The teeth are in better focus than the eyes....portraits should always have the eyes in razor-sharp focus.

Lighting and background is nice and the background colour complements the clothing colour.

The spot light on the background seems to be a little too bright on the right side of the head.

Might've lit the face a little more with a light reflector.

This is a beautiful portrait! I can't come up with much critique on it, but I would probably have tried to offer a light in the background that created a little more contrast between the background and her clothing... good job!

Pretty lady. Love the color and the light is pretty good. Maybe a little more on her face. Still this is good work. Congrats.

What a striking, regal woman. Her sari is lovely, too.

Pretty subject, nice warm tones. Good separation of subject from background. Good separation of gold from yellow.The bright spot above her left shoulder is a bit distracting. Would like to lighten her eye area a bit. Would also like seeing this subject in silhouette as well.

Very nice portrait but the background doesn't add to the picture too blah (the background, certainly not the lovely lady).
