Excellent shot; I mean there are a lot of people on this site who can take a creative and excellent portrait, but the subject has a blank or wrong expression. In this shot- you prove that all is not lost- you coaxed a terrific expression and fantastically knowledgeable and intriguing look out of your model.
This beautiful portrait is marred by what appears to be some poor masking showing up as a halo around her upper back. That is really, really a drag because otherwise this is simply stunning. Lighting is super, the model delivered an enticing pose and expression, and the blowing wisp of hair is the icing on the cake.
