Shot in my studio... This is the angel from my Angel series. I asked my wife to look at the shot and say the first thing that pops in her head regarding a title. "Dark Angel" was her reply. I liked it, it fit. Thanks to my model for her patience, as wll her work on makeup.

I like this a lot. I like the makeup and the jewelery. The only thing is the lighting around the chin. I don't know how to change it but the chin line almost disappears into her upper chest loosing some of the definition of that beautiful heart-shaped face.
Somebody knows what they're doing. :D THIS is a portrait. Wonderful detail. This has been well thought out from the makeup (including a powdered nose) to the balanced lighting. Congrats on a job well done.
On my monitor the skin tones about the forehead, nose and cheeks look over-exposed-too white with no skin texture or contours. The eyes are fine, as is the jewelry.
striking shot - I think the nose/upper cheek area is too burned out for me, and it would have been good to either lose the strap altogether, or alter it so it doesn't appear to be cutting in.
WOW!!!!!!!! I was just scrolling through the thumbnail page and this one jumped out at me. Every element is absolutely stunning, from the features of the model to the makeup and expression... AMAZING portrait. edit: Have now voted on a third of the entries and this is one of the very best I have come across. Looking at it again, the tones and composition strike me as excellent.
fantastic b&w photograph ... the added jewellrey and drawing on her face are awesome ... the composition and contrasts are excellent .. the over-exposed? look works perfectly ... love it ... =8
