Outstanding composition with a receptive subject that is so well poised. The tonal values are great. Personally, I would have either cropped higher to avoid the pointing finger peeking or cropped much lower to include the hand. However, the image has a very strong visual look with well thought out lighting.

I really like the lighting here, with the face slightly more bright than the rest of the subject. The thoughtful expression is quite intriguing as well.

Great lighting. the expression on the models face is really nice... seems very peaceful. The model is very beautiful. Very nicely done.

You nailed this look. Portrays a very confident and strong woman. Great job. One of my 10's

gorgeous model, beautifully lit. I like the bright catchlights and her confident pose. It might have been slightly more intimate having her looking into the camera, but I like this shot as well.

purdy. Good lighting and tone. Perhaps cropped every so slightly more?

Love the pose, tones, composition, cute model. Super job! (My imediate impression was of reflection or thinking, deep in thought)

IMO could have benefitted from a tad more contrast

Excellent lighting and pose. 8

Yes, she definitely looks confident. Good title. Nice contrast in this black and white shot. I like the soft lighting. Good highlights on her hair and face. I like all the black negative space... works nicely.

Not sure that is the best title, the eyes have it but the mouth doesn't. Tones need more contrast, looks a little washed out to me at the moment. Cropping the arms off really lets this potentially good photo down. Nice lighting and catchlights.
04/21/2005 09:58:16 PM
Excellent low key image. Love this portrait. very intimate.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Don't care for the left arm...looks like its been cut off by the shirt. Very pretty face and hair.
04/21/2005 02:03:05 PM
A very good title for this stunning portrait. Brilliant lighting and balance in composition.

Hmmm.... I liked this the first time I saw it. she is gorgeous. 10

dont' care for the crop on her arms...
04/20/2005 10:27:40 AM
So amazing that I don't have words for this one. The lighting is perfect.
I would not have cropped it so short...you can see just a tiny bit of one finger, that is distracting....aside from that the composition is very good. By the way, the title is perfect.

excellent work. there is nothing that would improve this, except for a really high placement! great job!

Beautiful portrait!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Seems more contemplative...maybe if she were facing the camera with here entire body or looked at the camera the "confidence" would come through more? She seems lost in her own thoughts.

Lovely shot, entrancing. Attention drawn to the fascinating eyes and subtle expression. No faults in this. 10
