Awesome, but the cyclops eye is kinda freaking me out. That is what makes it special!

The eye - she has beautiful eyes. I love them!

Agree, she is gorgeous, surely you have some where she has a more flattering look on her face and a better pose....come on don't hold out on us.

I like the look of the top portion alot just wish her body was not so straight on. Love the loop lighting and shadows.

If "the eyes are the window to the soul" you only get half way there.

A little bit wild-looking eye(s).. No offense - just my opinion.

But.. she is beautiful!

tomnovy

Because she is a wild girl

Your lighting and skin work are always gorgeous, Tom, and no exception here (care to share what you do for that beautiful porcelain skin look I always associate with your work?)

I don't mind the single eye, but not so crazy about the hair - her makeup and the toned colour scheme with her pale, pale look all combine to seem very "styled", but the hair somehow doesn't seem as much so. I think (given the somewhat "fashion" look to the shot) I want it either smoother, or WAY more wild and blown back, but this kinda falls between the two.

Still, minor reservation about a beautiful shot.

Thanks for the comment. I use high pass filter for the skin to smooth the shadows but keep the textures of the skin.

Thank you for the comments.

I would like to see a super close crop on the face/eyes..the rest of her is too plain to hold up to the eyes/face

The main subject - is her beautiful eyes. Click on the photo to see it bigger - it makes a difference.

Tom,

I took you up on the suggestion and went to the source. Playing with resizing the browser of the X3 pic, I think a tighter, square crop of her face better shows her amazing skin and eyes and the quality of the image. I leave it to you to do the trial edit if you think it's worthwhile.

tomnovy

I shall try it. Thank you.
