Not much to this shot. Most of the look that I wanted wa straight out of the cam. A bit of levels to adjust the lighting (i know that the lighting was uneven but it was what I was looking for).
A bit of increase in the hues & a bit of healing to even out the skin. A slight bit of buring on the right side & that's about it. Took about 7 minutes in the didgital darkroom.
BIG UPS to Ileia, my beautiful & willing model, who is also a photograher, old school style, & who helped much with the look of the shot.

First impression 1. Beautiful model and you captured it well
2. Good use of colours and lighting
3. Don't know what R*E*T*I*C*E*N*T means and therefore have to look it up. Finding out that it can be many things so it takes away thinking of the picture. There are so many "Non US" on DPC like me and only understand simple English.
4. Good border pick.
What could you do better 1. This is a good example of perfect rule of thirds, i.e. eyes are in the top third, person in the right third but in my opinion you should have zoomed a bit more in on the girl or add something to the picture. There is to much of empty space.
2. There is nothing else that I know of!
Hope this helps
First Impression Very Nice POrtrait shot.
Composition: Not sure about the cropping. I actually saved this picture and tried crop myself. I definately think the cropped one is looking better.
Subject: I really like the subject. Nice expressions.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting is perfect.
Improvement: Tighter crop.
Summary: Nice picture over all. Tight crop of it should have scored higher.
I like the way the colors work here and to some extent the position of the girl in the frame. I'd like to see more of her body turned towards the camera to create depth.
Whoa! The colors are clashing for me. The first thing I saw was the clash in the color, the second was the intensity in her look. I'm almost positive you may have wanted it the other way around.
That is a pretty face. The lighting is good.
I'd like to comment that while this worked, I personally would prefer a tighter crop around her face - bringing out more facial details. good work.
i like this the colros and composition. but something is missing. i cant quite put my finger on it... maybe sharpness, a very slight slight sharpness is missing?
A very beautiful model! I like the choice of background color as well. The lighting seems perhaps a bit flat to me, but you've captured some very nice detail in the face--especially the eyes.
