The eyes dominate the image as they should and the eye is immediately drawn and held there. They give the impression of a warm and froendly person, who is relaxed and at ease with herself.
The model has lovely features but I feel that with a combination of high key and neat image(?) you have needlessly perhaps 'plasticised' her. I'm waiting for neat image to be made into a face cream, but until then, I'd like to see models with their 'warts and all':) But then again it is a matter of personal taste.
This is certainly high key, and had you made it even more high key you may have achieved more high contrast. You might have lost the soft quality though, so it's a balancing act.
The halter neck strap at the back of her neck is a little distracting.
if i may critique without offending you: this is a beautiful model that has been way way overprocessed. i'm guessing you must have used neatimage. if so, you should back off on it - she has almost no facial features to look at. this is a very well composed photo, otherwise.
Don't get mad at me.
My forst reaction (1/2 second) was Too mutch.... To mutch PP to soft.
Then again, after looking at it 1/2 second longer it started to grow on me.
And now after looking at it allready for 2 seconds I like it ;)
Ok Ok that about the seconds isn't true, but in general....
I only wish the hairs would be sharp.
But I realy like the overall image, the look and the model.
i like the photo, but not the post-processing. whatever smoothing was added has taken the natural texture out leaving her looking a little rubbery. it's high-key yes, but not particularly contrasty...the blacks could be blacker. still gets a 7 from me.
