i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image as a guinnea pig as to what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.

my initial reaction is "what happened to this wonderful image?" i guess you're wearing a black hat? i don't know why. the lighting is great, the tones are warm, you've really captured your eyes...could you have done this without the hat? all of that undefined black space at the top just sits so heavy on what could be a killer image. right now, when i crop the top 30-35% and the left 20% off, i see an amazing portrait. but then again, what the hell do i know? i shoot bugs and sunsets and blurry taxis. good luck!

great lighting. I would prefer a slightly tighter crop given all that negative space at the top of the frame.

Cute...I would have liked it even more if the light on your eyes and the dark below was even more contrasted. I like it!

Your portrait really appeals to me. The title is well suited, but you are a very pretty woman. Your eyes are well captured showing depth of character and you show off your smooth complexion. Very nice job. 9

I like the way you have the light set up. I would believe that that is a hat on your head even though you can not see it I immediately get that impression.

Perfect title; it's a simple image, but the simplicity is deceptive because this is a thoughtfully conceived and beautifully crafted portrait. Great lighting & nice execution all round, but the best thing of all is that you made all this seem quite effortless. Mark of genuine artistic merit, in my view. 9.
