I'm rather surprised at this finishing this low.
The lighting here is good, her pose and the way her lips are "pouting" in a way, all come out to a rather nice image. The fact that she's very good looking certainly didn't hurt either.
very nice capture - the lighting on the hair and face is very dramatic, but the arms and neckline end up being a little flat in tone. A b/w may have been the right choice here. Still, i like....8
Beautiful girl, nice pose, I just dont really care for the lighting here - shadows a bit too extreme on her neck from her hair, and too bright on her face and forehead
the eye on the left side is real freaky looking? Did the model have a lazy eye? I had a friend in high school who had a lazy eye. When you talked to him his one eye would slowly wander to the side it was kind of weird. Thats what this picture reminded me of. I like the tones and the fact that the sharpness is suttle. lighting is good too. but that eye really distracts
