For what it's worth, I disagree with those that want more light on her right. The plunge to darkness is a big factor in this photo, IMHO. Beautiful work.

Really nice portrait. The composition/crop and lighting are very nice. It's perhaps a little over sharpened on the hair for my taste but the skin looks great

Like the lighting, her pose not so much, she seems a little confused unless that was the intension

Nice lighting and I like the gentle pose. Good focus and a great job on the highlights.

Excellent lighting. Having half of the face in the shadows adds intrigue to the shot.

An excellent portrait here! The mood of the model is great, framing is as good as it should be.
I wish only there was a little more light at the left side (her right eye).
Good luck! (10)

Beautiful portrait.

03/16/2009 07:50:09 AM
her right half is just too dark IMO, at least the eye should be a tad brighter. besides that well done.

This is very nice. I am almost sick of face photos, but the lighting and pose make this a special gem.

great model perfect pose.. good .. lighting !
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:28:22 PM
Great skin tones and texture in this portrait and the lighting really sculpts her face. The 'glance left' look is a little different from the norm, but I think it works here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:45:58 PM
Wonderful lighting and detail, very well executed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:34:20 PM

03/15/2009 01:23:09 PM
Interesting dynamic lighting but I sorta wish the darker parts were even darker.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:48:15 AM
lovely image, but for me a little fill on the left would have added to the result, jmo

Beautiful model, lighting, skin. Nice red hair, and coordinating her lips with overall skin tone, and not hair.

Great mystery to this portrait
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:54:25 PM
Interesting use of light. With the right side of her face completely shadowed, I'd like it a little better if she wasn't looking so far to the left. That much white in the eye is a little distracting. Neat shot, though.

Killer portrait. Eyes are nice and sharp, but don't appear artificially pimped.

I like the strong lighting. The lone strands of hair are a bit of a let down.

I like the half shadow treatment. Nicely done.

Superb!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful processing. The light on one side of the face is just enough to see it, and the other side is beautifully processed to make it look so smooth.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:13:27 PM
Lighting well used. The hair wisps are are little distracting and cover the excellent skin tones but still a very nice shot.

I think the contrast is to high. A little light on the other side of her face would improve much.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:04:34 PM
All wonderful... except I don't like the eye. All of that white of the eye makes me uncomforable for some reason. If she were looking somewhere where less white showed... even if it weren't at us... I'd like it more, I think.

Lovely light, focus, and composition.

As a rule, I'm not a fan of posed shots, but I have to say this is really fantastic. I love the light and shadow. It's soft, simple and natural. Good luck!
