Very nicely light. I do think it could use just a touch more lighting on the right side (her left) so that her pony tail doesn't look like it's pinned to her jacket. A simple reflector on that side would do the trick. Composition is very classic if a tad bit unimaginitve. The only real complaint in my mind is the glow around her glasses. What is that? Is it from a back light?

Lighting seems a little harsh to me, maybe especially with your title. Maybe if you were trying to convery "startled" then the brighter light and deep shadows would "fit" better.
Nice candid shot with lovely natural lighting which shows off the models blue eyes and facial bone structure to perfection.
Definite Scandinavian/German/Icelandic feel to this.
Slight halo at the top of the head..presumably you have darkened the background ? Doesn`t take away from this excellent image though.
Good work
Lighting: The catchlight adds depth to her expression, but her left side would have benefitted from some fill light.
Pose: Well posed, although I believe it would have been captured better from slightly higher than eye level.
Background: The black background was done well.
The back of her jacket seems to be bunched up around her neck. This, along with the wrinkles in the blouse, serve as distractions to an otherwise good portrait. I like the lighting on her face. :o)
Really dynamic - and a great study in expressions. Her eyes are definitely concentrating on "something." Keep her as a model for sure. Sunglasses are a detraction for this concept. I normally don't like borders - but this one actually works well.
Nice pose. A little more light to the right side of the face. Not sure I like the graininess it has. Makes the skin look a bit mottled. The eyes need a bit more sharper detail
I really like this - very attractive, the slightly grainy look and the soft highlight round the hair into the background. There is another photo here too, crop to top right only face and neck - you would loose the long hair but it would make another great picture from the same material. Love the look!
Your portrait is really good. I think it would have been even nicer with a closer crop to just below her neck and without the sunglasses on top of her head.
Great eyes and lips!! Fantastic face, and expression. I don't like the wrinkles in the shirt and jacket. The shoulder pad looks too big. Nice work and good luck.
