Hmmm - great photo, but it looks to me as if more than one light source has been used - flash straight on, and a light to the left side (reflecting off her nose). Wonderful photo though
I really like this photo, but I think you could have cropped the bottom differetly. Higher because her nose is already really long and cropping where you did probably made it look twice as long.
I really don't know about this composition...the models eyes are somewhat compelling and I can may be see being a little more cropped in on them...but having the image cut off right after the nose and with such a bright highlight on the nose it kind of pulls attention away from the eyes...also just seems kind of weird to have so much forehead in place of showing the more important features of the face like the lips
Nice light and sharpness,
Critique: perhaps cropped a bit too tight
at the nose, could be 3mm lower
and eyes too wide open
but that is just my opinion.
beautiful eyes but the skin and the crop of this pic just arent sitting well with me the shine on the skin is distracting and the crop leaving the nose visible just doesnt seem right would have liked to have seen this pic with the crop cutting off half way down the nose.
cropping right at the bottom of the nose gives her an unfortunately comic "kilroy was here" look. Cropping just above the nostrils would have been better. Otherwise this is very nice, and technically excellent.
It's nice to see that the texture of her skin isn't all neat imaged to hell. It's a nice shot. I think it might be improved if it wasn't cropped quite so close on the bottom--it's as if .5% of her nose is cut off (picky, I know).
I don't like this shot at all, that is saying something because I think I have seen this women before and loved the shots I have seen. My problem is looking at it quickly it seems her nose is broken, looking closer I see reflected in her eyes what looks like 5 sources of light, I thought it was single light source? Also whatever you did to add contrast makes her skin look like worn leather. It is such a shame she is such a pretty women too.
WOW - those are the most perfect eyebrows I've ever seen. I think I would have liked it better had the hair been slecked back and no head covering. Really glam and fashion sensed though.
This doesn't come across as a flattering image to me. I think that you would have been better off with a tighter crop, both from the top and from the bottom, leaving the nostrils and half of the forehead out of the photo. Eyes are beautiful and do not need the nose for distraction. The top would go out because of the symmetry.
