I really like the shadows on her face. This is a great portrait. I really like it. I would do a re-do and crop out the folded backdrop.

Lovely tribute to Parks. I neveer heard of him before but thanks to you, he is now part of my bookmarked collections of photographers ;) The focus here is soft but works well IMHO. the texture of the background, while light, is a bit distracting on the left hand side. The sahdow definition is indeed captivating and "alluring". It leaves me to wonder, what happened to the left strap of her dress ;) I know, details details ;) Great job my friend ;)

I like how it is asymetrical but you may want to try changing the value of the picture in order to bring out the texture within her skin.

I like the pose and the delicate smile, can't help finding the light on the background too harsh giving an unbalanced shadow in front of model..

beautifully shot and lovely lighting really compliments a beautiful model...just wish one eye had a little light on it...if she turned just a little bit we could have had better contact...but great work

Good tribute, his people shots are really interesting, usually a little busier than yours. I like the way you've got her features on the shadow side
