Taken using Reveal light bulbs (they have great all natural light). In my opinion this was much better in color but I liked it enough to use it this week.

Very nice detail and clarity. The eyes lead me to the left where the frame ends. I would have liked to see more frame to the left of her 'gaze.' Nice shot... one of my favorites this week!

I've seen the colour version of this (I'm *devious* like that ;) ) which is absolutely breathtaking. Would be an 11 if you could have entered it.
I don't think B&W does this any favours, but those eyes are still stunning, and the lighting, focus & detail are all spot on. The scarf frames the eyes beautifuly and adds to the composition.
Awesome work, but please show everyone the colour version after the challenge.
Even without color this picture has a very strong impact and the lighting looks more balanced (the red in the original I have seen was so strong that it blew away the texture at the bottom-middle to the bottom right and right of the right eye).
Awesome photo!
This is awesome. So much mistic to it. The eyes say espianoge and intrigue. I love this. Everything is right about it. I'd definitely give it a 10. PTL
