I can clearly see this is a work of passion!
Your Veronique is indeed a lovely subject. The subtle and selective
sharpening of the image makes a dramatic enhancement of facial features
while softening the background. The sepia-like coloration is perfect.
Well done!
I would crop of part of the left, up to her armpit, leave the arms but remove the rest of the body, so you get a nice play of diagonals around the face. Great shot.
very pretty model....gorgeous eyes...and that is where I am drawn automatically here...the pose works well as does the coloring you chose...very nicely done 10
Nice shot, strange to have the right hand in such a tense position compared to the more relaxed look of the rest of the pose but maybe that's just me empathizing with the model. - 6
Great model, nice pose! On my (calibrated) monitor, this has a "yellowish" tone to it that seems a little strange, so I wanted to mention it. (The grayscale on the voting page looks nice and gray in comparison). Adding a little bit of blue to the picture might help balance out the tones? Other than that, good job at meeting this challenge.
A great capture of the subject's personality - something every portrait should strive to do. I like the tones and the lighting. This has a real professional look to it. good luck!
This is a very attractive study of an attractive subject and works well in black and white. The low key lighting works well, with good detail in the shadows. Maybe I would have cropped to her right elbow to hide the "material" there and add to the hint of mystery.
nicely done. I am getting a bit of a green hue and not sure if you intended that or not. not major.. but slightly, esp. in the face.
wonderful eyes, and good position of her hands. the hand she is resting on could be turned slightly to show the side of her hand to the camera... more feminine. backs of hands are more masculine.
