    Very nice portrait. There are a crazy number of catchlights in her eyes -- maybe a quick photoshop job of eliminating a couple of them (but certainly not all of them) would make her eyes more powerful.

    I could not disagree more. Just because we have photoshop, doesn't mean all of our photos need to have a certain number of catchlights.

    As someone who shoots natural light a lot these days, I love the look of eyes in their natural state. Stand near a window with a mirror and you'll see what I mean.

    Cool image. I wouldn't change a thing.

    Oh, my! Stunning. And yes, I'm getting tired of plain square & octagonal catchlights from softboxes. I'm going to put some tape on my square SBs to at least try to make them look like windows. Thes eyes are wonderful.

    +1. I love complex catchlights - they draw me into the eyes rather than push me away.

    Compelling image, and the unusual crop works perfectly to engage the viewer. Love it!

    I really like the image... the bg is great, even though its really bright... You get sucked right back into her face/eyes... the framing is great, the finish is great.... & i just keep looking at her "eyeballs"... and they are great... I wouldn't change a thing either... thumb.gif

    but what a way to go......

    I never take away from an abundance of catchlights when it comes from natural sources, often I can even see myself!

    I whole heartedly agree. Just because you've got Photoshop doesn't mean you have to use it. Excellent. Breathtaking, "I wish I had taken this" kinda pic.
