Taken at home, tired after a after a fun Friday evening.

The light was a 550ex on the camera, aimed into a white reflector on the left.

Post processing - convert to B&W, some levels, cloned out a few skin blemishes and a small part of the right ear that was showing, fixed a small reflection in one eye, some selective smoothing and sharpening.

Good job on the lighting ... very dramatic ... well done

great catchlights in the eyes. the way the face "floats" in clarity while the rest of the body is so OOF is a bit distracting.

Awesome eyes but so much lack of DOF jars me. I would like to see the model's neck a tad more in focus.

Very pretty lady with soft lovely light washing across her face. I like the b&w toning as well. Good job!

I would've cropped this tighter, off the bottom at least. I find the necklace a little distracting with the light reflecting off it.

Hmmm ... depth of field very shallow ... looks like gaussian blur got applied.

great focus on her eyes

Not sure if I like the cropping of this picture

I cropped up from the bottom to further enhance the nice focus on the face/eyes. What do you think?
