    I like these, but I would try to do something about the lack of contrast over her eyes. To me it is kind of distracting. Not sure if it was the flash or what, but her eyes seem to have a light film over them or something.

    When you're going to be that close, you had better have a fantastic make-up artist. Hair between eyebrows, dark undertones below the eyes, freckles, a few skin wrinkles (not from age but from extreme close-up detail), etc. Also, there is zero detail in either the color or structure of the iris. Only my opinion but this particular shot, to me, is very unflattering to what I am sure is quite a beautiful person.

    Hmm.. I think it really depends on what you're going after. I do agree that this image lacks something. It's a bit flat and I am not sure I like that the brow is cut off to each side. But I don't agree with your comment that untamed eyebrows, freckles and such should be avoided to make a good picture. Remember, in some ethnicities have very full brows and it's not "unattractive" to have hair between the brows.

    I hope the OP doesn't mind me including this picture below just to illustrate what I mean. This is a SP I took. You can see that I have a few stray eyebrow hairs, freckles and I don't think it detracts from the shot. I think it's a matter of what your going for in the image.

    I agree with both opinions. It really depends on what your final outcome is supposed to be. I would say that the first set needs to be cleaned up quite a bit if it were to be compared to any professional beauty magazine shots. Cuban's would be superb for a rough and tumble type of ad. I recognize that pic from your boxing shoot. :) Just my opinion.
