    Very nice shot. A little too soft on the face which I think looses some of the detail on the bridge of the nose. Great lighting though.

    I like it, but think it's a little cool overall (skin and background). Could warm it up a bit.

    I like your shot. iloveyou.gif
    However, I would darken the background. It would make the face to pop a bit.
    How would I do such a job ?
    Creat a new layer, Multiply, adjust to 30/40 %, mask, erase face to see underneath.
    :D
    If you work with raw it is easier ...
    Something like this (I can't do better but I was meaning a not so bright background...) :)

    Hola mate!
    I agree with what's being said here. My two cents... how about B&W + some vignette? Cheers! Ivar ;-) PS! Looking forward to see more of your shots mate!

    Agree with everyone else so far.

    Great shot that can be enhanced with B&W or some color boost.
