This is Aldís, some of you might remember her from my Superstitions entry this summer.
Henny took care of the makeup as usual and put on the dress she has on, not really visible in this photo but if anyone is interested I might post outtakes, she is just wearing white shiffon wich Henny made into a toga like dress.
Lit with 4 lights in basically all four corners from her, two from the front with softboxes and two from behind with honeycombs for hairlight.
Post processing wasn´t much, just raw conversion and curves, lightened the eyes a bit and took out birthmarks wich I never normally do, just the thought behind this photo was that she was some kind of Greek/Roman godess so I didn´t think they fitted the theme of the photo. Also cloned out a spotlight in her left eye.

Very stylish portrait ! Her face is beautiful and her hair adds the darker note to the light colors. Nice composition with the magnetic look. my vote:9
excellent composition and lighting. love the drape on her L shoulder compositionally. Eyes are captivating. crystals discreet but add interest
well done
A beautiful and honest portrait. I like the way you've handled the light. The details are perfect in their rendition. The only quibble for me would be the un-real eyes and lack of detail in the jewels...but hey, can you really have it all?
