I was shooting a model to help her build her portfolio, when I had the idea...I've never done a high key portrait, so I fired off this shot, and over exposed the hell out of it, and tinkered a bit, and viola...

I liked this a lot during the challenge, I think the HighKey technique would not have worked so well if you hadn't emphasized those beautiful colors in her eye. I alos like the subdued color of the lips-keeps them from fighting with the eyes for attention, and they do get noticed on their own. T
It looks little to washed out on my monitor. I think toning it down here would have done wonders and given you the definition across the nose and eyes that you were looking for.
A couple of red smudges above and below the lips spoil what would otherwise have been a good portrait. Also, I think increasing the vibrancy of the red lipstick may have added to the image. Otherwise, a good shot.
Beautiful eyes and mouth. Not liking the nose stud - it just appears as a bug with the high key skin tone. In full colour, it would probably be just fine.
