-Bella was kind enough to model for this photo. I made so many mistakes with this portrait, at least in my eyes. I hope to do another portrait of her and apply what I have learned.
-About the Model: I call her Bella (Beautiful) as you can see why. She is a fashion designer. Check out some of her work at www.obellabrand.com

For me, the photo has been overly done in a photo editing program. The overly yellow skin is a bit much for my likes, but you have created some very nice, contrasting shadows.
Truly fantastic. It's a beautiful image and a beautiful model. I'm very curious about how you managed to get this high a contrast without losing details in the places you kept it. I hope you'll explain!
Awesome shot bro! Good editing. Congrats on your last photo too... My only fear is that someone will nominate your photo for disqualification due to there being no sholders in the shot. Hope not, because I see a lot of photos in this competition that don't belong (HIGH CONTRAST). So, I think this has a shot at a ribbon. 10 from me.
