This is lovethelight again. she has amazing eyes that doesn't need dodge/burn. =)
I did a lot of experimental editing on this one, like various layers and blending modes to achieve the contrast. converted to B&W, and toned with sepia in Lightroom. so compositionally it's boring, but I'm too lazy to edit anything else.
The title is inspired by an awesome spring awakening song that I thought was fitting since it looks like she came out of the darkness. Plus she loves this song =D

haha I REALLY think i look like I am about to eat someone in this picture....i love the texture of the skin and it works well duotone, awesome wanjun :)
A perfect portrait... The pose, the expression, the lighting, all combine to make you want to know more about this special person. I like the duotone as well, and even the skin texture adds to the image. 10 from me and my pick for yellow ribbon.
Hrm - was about to say that the eyes are too dark, but reading the title i can now say that the smile is a bit "off" for what i think you were trying to achieve. Lovely textures and postwork :)
