    I think she needs to relax a bit. It looks like she is trying to hold her eyes open as wide as possible. She has lovely eyes, but they would look better relaxed. Her whole face looks very stiff and unnatural. Hope I'm not being too blunt, but that's how I see it. It's OK to not smile, but she could drop her chin a bit and look up slightly as if daydreaming - to show off the eyes. Ask her to think happy thoughts and relax her lips. She is very beautiful and you've got the lighting right. thumb.gif

    I'll echo some of the other comments... lower the chin, soften the pose, drop the gaze bottom right (more demure pose) her eyes match her dress which is great but in this shot all you see is the flare of the light.
    From a stylist's perspective... lose the pearls and if you're going to stay with this hairstyle, replace the tiny hoop earrings with small studs, or remove them completely. Brush through the hair more for evenness.

    Thank you for taking the time to comment, and I appreciate bluntness, especially when your serious. I am serious about photography and I post here not to show off, but to get real opinions and tips from people who have been around it longer than I have.

    Thanks again, I listen...

    Thanks again Angelo. I see your points.
