This photo was taken at the reception of my brother's wedding. I saw this transparent material decoration lit by an ordinary light bulb from below. I then asked my niece Mariel to pose. She was quite pleased with the results.
Shot handheld with no flash @ISO 800.

Great lighting & beautiful eyes. I would tap in to the "vulnerable" feel by raising the camera and having her look up at you - but this is a gorgeous portrait in & of itself. 8
Back to comment: Very nice work with the B&W conversion. The lighting is well done and the eyes are sharply focused. Giving you a bump, as I under-rated it the first time I looked at it.
I only have one problem: the hand. Why is it there? it comes out of nowhere and to me it is not contributing to the feel of the photo. The lighting, the look, the composition and the clothing work all well together to create a mustic feel. But the hand? vote:7
ooo very nice. I like the compostion and the hand. there is a lot of visual movement. There is a noise issue, and I don't think it works for this image. mabey the overall ratio is too high too.
Lovely intricate lighting and nice selective highlighting.
I love the tones and that her skin isn't 'perfectly smooth' like most portraits with any PP are.
I think is subtly beautiful.
