Lighting: Well done high-key. But that is exactly why the reflections in her eyes are so distracting, particularly the reflection of you in her right eye.
Pose: works well.
Background: nice.
I don't usually go for the high key approach when it comes to portraits, but this is nicely done. My only real complaint is the blue light between under her left eye...

Cool idea, comes off pretty well. I find the reflections in her right eye distracting -- either more indirect lighting, a better angle, or some careful cloning could reduce that.
There's obviously a great deal of thought put into the making of this portrait. The high key is interesting. I don't think the selective toning works--it makes the hair somewhat green and unbalances the eyes. The complexity of the room reflected in her right eye also doesn't add.
Nicely done. Like the high-key effect. Eyes are expressive, but the reflections in the right eye are distracting, as is the ring on her ring finger...it's turned a bit. Well done. :o)
Your processing has almost removed all the detail from her eyes - giving big black pools - could be what you are going for - but the title seems to contradict that
i'm a little in two minds over this. i love how white everything is, and i think it's a very beautiful image. with regards to its portraitedness, i'm not entirely sure... traditionally, the face shouldn't be obscured, but it has so much style and drama, i don't really mind. i bit more colour in the eyes would be nice though, and possibly a little cloning in her right eye, because the reflections look a bit messy. nice shot though - 7.
I think this is a nice portrait, however the lighting seems a blit too bright. Her face fades into the background. I love the reflection in her eye and I do like the overall bright tone, would just like to be able to make out the definition of the right side of her face.
My favourite so far, for both the technique used and also for having the bravery to submit it, as it will probably get as much criticism as plaudits.
It seems to work on a diagonal..with the lightest portion in the bottom left and the darkest , top right.
I love it..we don`t see enough of this type of stuff for me.
The only thing I would have changed was to take the rings off as they are slightly distracting in an otherwise perfect shot....10
Too bad you chose this shot that hides a pretty face. I find that the hand adds nothing to this shot. Good high key attempt, althought her hair at her temple is going green from the editing. Beautiful eyes.
Shit, i like to make picture with IMPACT like that.... i am sure you will be in the fist 3, i like the white mood and the eye is simply amazing, not sure about the ring, maybe i will have remove it!, but there is such a impac elswere, i dont care ! a10
