Natural light coming from the front of the model (herself being somewhat in the shade), white reflector in front (that she holds). Post processing: playing with light, saturation, contrast, curve, levels, colors (eyes and background), crop, sharpen.

Composition is great, lighting is good though perhaps a bit hot across the cheeks.
Things that could make this image even better -
* watch your color processing. There are artifacts showing up in the background from oversaturation.
* little easier on the sharpening or use the history brush to selectively back it out here and there. The left eyebrow in particular has a bit of a brittle look to it caused by sharpening artificats and halos.
I really do like that eye though - wonderful color and detail.
Gotta' say, that eye on the right looks very creepy. The background being the same color as her iris is very complementary to her, but that bit of white between the hair strands where I expect to see the other iris keeps me from seeing this as a pretty potrait. Not entirely sure what you were going for here.
Not sure what Blue MZ means but I like the lighting here and the crop works. Only something went wrong in PP , the lady's left eye is missing its cornea. Not too keen on the expression too, but nice model. Her laughing or a clever smirk would've been better.
Nice shot - Like the tones - Love the background colour and great sharpness where needed. Just feel she looks a little pained in her expression which is a little awkward to look at as a viewer.
