The lighting is exquisite. The model is beautiful and has a very warm expression. Nice tilt of the head and smile. I'm a bit surprised that you did not use clone tool to take out the cracks in the lower lip. And being easily distracted, I find the rectangular buckly thing a tiny bit distracting. Still, this strikes me as being superb portraiture - I am in awe at the way the skin glows.
Very pretty young lady. Nice clean image. B/W is interesting, how did it look in color? One nitpick - the reflection in the eyes appears to show the photographer or something vertical...
Very professional. If you dont have a studio, you could have fooled me! Very well done. It looks like a real headshot for a model or actress. Keep up the good work. This is one of my few 10's in this challenge.
This is a lovely portrait - very clear, nicely tones, and of a lovely woman. My only complaints are a couple of elements that distract me - the buckle on her clothing and the dark spot to the left of the image. Otherwise - great work!
Good composition, light a little blown out on the forehead, I would have removed the black shadow behind her shoulder because it is a little distracting ... overall effect males of this picture one of the best portraits in the challenge, good job!!
This portrait has everything going for it.
A pleasant pose, nice tone (good B&W processing too btw), a non-phoney smile and good lighting. Very professional work.
Well Done! (8)
Love it, beautiful subject to shoot - how can you go wrong. The lighting looks just perfect in this shot, great detail on the whole face! Looks like maybe a little Photoshop work done here can't place my figure on it but I just really like this shot. Excellent Work!
Lovely portrait and model, nice and sharp where it needs to be. The only thing that I can think of to improve this (very minor) is maybe cropping more on the left and having more on the right so there's a tad less negative space behind her. If this is the full frame, just a slight camera pan to the right would do this. But I'm not a pro, and could only wish to capture something like this. Nice job!
The eyes are amazing. The pose/crop is bothering me a bit. She looks like a tiny girl with an oversized shoulder. I like this better with a crop that comes into the shoulder. The ends of her hair look a bit oversharpened or just dry. I bet she has baby fine hair. A bit of spray conditioner might be in order for next time to hold the hair together a bit and give it some shine on the ends. The face is really great though. I try to point out everything I see that might be helpful. I really had to look hard. : )
An excellent portrait. Little comment: distracting black thing in lower left corner; always try to cover bare arms (arm skin is hardly ever flattering) or put them in a position that won't demand attention.
I think you nailed this portrait. Very clean processing and preservation of detail integrity. Lovely lighting and DOF. A solid 8. I would prefer that you submit a color or toned version.
