Ok...the little white speck that some of you complained about is from my eyebrow peircing. I'm used to seeing it so it didn't occur to me to clone it out. Wish I did.
Thanks for all the comments, I have never gotten so many on a single entry before.

I cannot believe that this didn't do better.
One of my favourited.
Well done Wendy. A beautiful picture. If it was done with a self timer then that makes it even more amazing!

This is a beautiful shot. I love the soft glow lighting on her face and hair and the light of the eyes. The expression goes perfectly with the pose. I do see the white speck others have mentioned, but other than that I would aspire to take a portrait as perfect as this one.
I love this shot..I really like the shine on your lips and face. Your hair looks like it is blowing in the breeze and your eyes, wow!!! beautiful! One of my top picks!
Oh boy howdy does this convey attitude. Well done. Composition is terrific. Eyes are spot on. DOF really accentuates the face. Among my top picks this challenge.
Something about this makes it feel too artificial. I'm curious about the line that parallels her left cheak--shadow? Post processing artifact? Nonetheless, a very worthy photo. Good job.
if I were able to do work this well and this were my entry I would have cloned out that tiny white spot by her right eye... but I'm not this good so who am I to say! But I can say this is a beautiful portrait!
The only flaw, is the white speck over her left eye. Otherwise, perfect. Beautiful model. great lighting, sultery pose, eye-grabbing eyes. Absolutely beautiful image. I hpe it does well for you. Good Luck I'm a forgiving kinda guy when it comes to pretty women...I'm gonna pretend I missed that speck! <10>
Almost a painting like quality. Great colors too, with the gold of the hair and the blue of the eyes. Jus tone little nit: the focus seems to be sharpest somewhere _between_ the eye and the lips, and not at the eyes. I'd have liked at least one eye to be sharper...
gorgeous! My favorite shot of yours so far. You just glow here. Very ethereal. Lighting is perfect and black background just makes the gold in your hair pop. Very nice. bumping to a 9
I like the sideways glance and the nice luminescence on her face. The hair coming off to the side as if windblown is a nice effect. I detect a slight bit of red in the eye on the viewer's left and might clone that out. Does she have an eye stud? Since you can't see the entire thing, that tiny speck of white is just a touch distracting. I like the crop that you did and the frame sets it off nicely.
