Used single studio strobe to the front left of Irina's face. Background is solid white seamless paper (although due to light source, appears quite dark).
-Edited RAW image including brightness, contrast and colour temperature changes.
-Further editing in Photoshop added soft focus to face.

Beautiful image but somewhat of an awkward head position. Seems as if she is jutting out of the picture and somewhat detached from her neck (imho). BOL
You've done a very nice job conveying attitude and emotion is this photo. Something that's not that easy to do. Focus is very good. Textures are good. Composition is good. Levels and lighting are good. And all those technical "goods" come together to create a great photo. Well done. Among my top picks.
looks really good, great hair movement, only thing is i'd take the dark circles out from under her eyes. i'm sure it was just a lighting shadow, but it'd look better w/out it. overall great picture though. 5
i see where you're going, and you have potential, but this image doesn't quite get there for me. she looks too bored, and there's no context to explain why...
A nice shot. The expression on her face is unusual, adding interest to the shot. And her hear flying up like that gives the impression of motion. Nice composition - decentered.
Great portrati - I like the expression, eyes and hair. The background, however, could be a bit better I think. The reason I say this is because the background seems to almost blend in with her clothing and makes her stand out less. I think perhaps a white background would have provided more contrast to make her stand out from her background even more.
