Wow. You pulled me right into her eyes with the lighting of this photo. Nice job putting this together.

I like it, verry beautiful light and expression, I'm not sure about that hand, if it wouldn't be better without it.

Nicely lit & composed.

Nice concept :) 6

Great lighting & beautiful eyes. I would tap in to the "vulnerable" feel by raising the camera and having her look up at you - but this is a gorgeous portrait in & of itself. 8

Lighting and mood spot on.

Back to comment: Very nice work with the B&W conversion. The lighting is well done and the eyes are sharply focused. Giving you a bump, as I under-rated it the first time I looked at it.

I only have one problem: the hand. Why is it there? it comes out of nowhere and to me it is not contributing to the feel of the photo. The lighting, the look, the composition and the clothing work all well together to create a mustic feel. But the hand? vote:7

Disturbing ... dunno why.

Love the lighting here
01/11/2007 01:55:10 PM
Hand looks strange. Otherwise perfect!
01/11/2007 12:18:53 PM
ooo very nice. I like the compostion and the hand. there is a lot of visual movement. There is a noise issue, and I don't think it works for this image. mabey the overall ratio is too high too.

01/11/2007 11:42:47 AM

01/11/2007 07:00:43 AM
Beautifull, love the lighting and the tones. Good Luck!

Beautiful lighting.
01/11/2007 12:21:06 AM
lighting is gorgeous. Very emotive.
01/10/2007 07:55:51 PM
Striking face
01/10/2007 06:35:21 PM
The hand draws you eyes away from her very captivating eyes. Almost wish it wasn't included in the photo.
01/10/2007 05:39:49 PM
Lovely intricate lighting and nice selective highlighting.
I love the tones and that her skin isn't 'perfectly smooth' like most portraits with any PP are.
I think is subtly beautiful.
01/10/2007 12:21:03 PM
The face is very compelling but I could do without the hand...
01/10/2007 05:45:56 AM
