Shot using one Alien Bee flash and over exposed on purpose. I like it, but I'm sure a lot of people will feel it is too over exposed.
Processing:
Crop, slight levels, burned the hair and some facial features, dodged the eyes, duplicate layers with soft light blending mode and reduced opacity, resize, USM, add border.

Excellent. Just a slight bit too much exposure on the left side (here right) of her jaw. I know how hard it is to get this effect just right, though :)
Very pretty picture, but the overexposure lost a bit of detail on her face, and that causes my eye to go right from the eyes/nose to the out-of-focus wet (?) hair on the viewer's left. Still, her eyes are riveting, and I do love high-key portraits.
