a stunningly beautiful image. i do feel that you've over smoothed her skin in spots though making it a little artificial.
otherwise for me it's up there with Steve McCurry's 'Afghan Girl'
amazing image.
Katrina is lovely. I like the hands in this shot and the areas that are out of focus. The wisps of hair to the right add a touch of feathery texture. The red scarf puts some richness to the image as well. Lovely lighting, Mannie!!!
*sings* It had to be youuuuuuuuuu...
BOSH! Im glad you used the term PROBEBLY because I think you have some awsome portraits this is another LIBRODO CLASSIC, you're a cool guy
The expression is great. A few things that bother me are the light/shadow on her hands. the effect looks good on the face, but one hand in light and another in shadow somehow doens't look that good to me. Also the catch light in her eyes.. they are distributed and are on the periphery which looks kind of odd.
But again I am no expert in portraits, just a viewer :)
