I demand to know how you lit this. This is the most incredible environmental portrait I've seen on this site yet!

One studio flash from each side. On our left there was a flash with a big softbox and on our right (a bit further away) I had another one with a reglular reflector which gives this hard effect on her shoulder for example. In addition to that my friend held a silver reflector between me and the flash on the left side.
And what a princess... very nice the clothes you choose for the dark background... Very nice the model.. has she found his prince. :)
Overall a great picture.. i like it a lot.
Great shot, lighting and PP, but the model seems a little too defensive, I think the shoulder placement has a lot to do with this. Also in the eyes though.
My only negative observation is the blown skin tones on the wrist of the right hand. Outside of this, this is a glorious image because the pink and skin tones are so aptly enshrined with the dark glorious background. The model is otherwise will light and her looks and expression speak of a gentle poise.
lovely photograph. if it was mine, I'd probably have moved that model slightly to the right to avoid the merge of grass with her hair. still, it's well posed and excellent lighting among other plus values.
The lighting on the girl is absolutely first class and her demeanour is captivating. The only slight nit pick in my view is that I would have preferred to see the rocky background a little lighter.
This is awesome. It was such a good choice for her to be wearing soft, flowing pink against those dark colors. She is so beautiful and exotic looking. Amazing portrait!!!!!!
interesting backdrop for a portrait. i can't tell if i like it, or if the image would be stronger if the background was blurred just a bit. the side lighting from the right looks like it could be dialed down just a hair. don't know why, but it also seems that the focus is a bit soft. all the same, nice capture, good luck!
