Absolutely fantastic use of light - the subtle halos around her face, particularly along her forehead, nose and eye, are just stunning. Lovely detail/ light on the flower and her hand - that had to be a tough exposure to get right. And lovely composition filling the right hand side with the woman, such a strong and solid presence, and contrasting that with the light, fragile flower and light-filled window. And those window frames really add something to the composition too. This is just fabulous!

Excellent idea and execution. Great use of highlights to really give this photo life. You were definitely one of the few to use them and they make a big difference. Very nice!
