I have not edited this picture in anyway, but I think that this a very strong image. This picture I believe has a very retro feel to it like the old Twiggy pictures. With this being my friend the way that I remember her is for her big lips.

YES, really nice. I wonder why you have choosen black and white and upper light. I also wonder why you have included complete face on the photo. Because when I look to it, the lips are beautiful, but also, the eyes, nose,... So I think the photo doesn't take the attention to the lips (unless you read the title of course). Anyway I think it is a great photo
This is a little soft but it kinda suits the image. That area of jet blackness under her chin totally pulls my eye in away from her face though, might have been better to include a light source aimed upwards, or to just have placed her in stronger light so we could see some detail down there.
It might be me, but it looks really soft to me. If it's sharp SOOC you might have issues when downsizing... unsharp mask works wonders before AND after downsizing. Just a thought.
Lovely photo. A bit too tight cropped for me, though.
