    Very pretty lady!

    I do not like the angle very much but the skin, hair, and eyes are all VERY nice! thumb.gif

    I can see why you like it! Wow!

    The light and skin luminance are amazing. Very smooth and even, a teensy bit hot, but that's personal taste. Her eyes look gorgeous!!! The conversion is very nice, contrasty enough without being harsh.

    I am a big fan of angled pics but this one just doesn't work for me. If she was angled the opposite direction, I could "read" her face better. I definitely think a tighter crop could work here, especially if it enabled a different angle, got her face off of dead center. The background is a bit busy (although out of focus), so its definitely expendable.

    Really lovely shot overall, you've got a gorgeous subject and I would be proud of this shot, too. thumb.gif

    I'm a sucker for eyes. Nice shot.

    I agree-- her face and eyes are very nicely captured. The background is just a little distracting (all the white) but that's just me being very, very nit-picky. It's a great capture.

    She is beautiful and your photo of her is superb! The angle is a bit too angled, IMO, but her eyes and face are so clear and lovely. Nicely done!

    Very nice shot. I don't mind the angle at all (though I think the crop could be a bit better if you have more room), it almost feels like your kissing her with the camera.

    Ditto above...

    Some cropping may also add some additional emphasis in the right places as well as reduce the background minor distractions.

    Well done photo. Very engaging.
