    The colors!! Just awesome!!

    but in the first one, around the nose ridge line and underneath it's like she has a tan line. Is she a ninja during the day?

    All are stunning Nik. A small nit on #6 is that light hitting the shoulder is bright enough to detract the attention from the face. Overall though, excellent.

    It happens very often (to me at least) that the best frames happen 1) at the end of the shoot 2) totally unplanned. Needless to say, this last batch was taken during the last 20 minutes of the 4 hour shoot:-)

    Nah, it's simply my mistake in lighting, "inverted raccoon eyes". I corrected it almost immediately and i hope - it doesn't show in the following frames. Yet I still loved the expression and overall composition on this capture and decided to keep it...

    Chiffon is definitely a nice material if you light it right:-) mwink.gif

    #6: Duh :bash, now I remember why my original crop was tighter on the left. I'll probably need to add vignette to dim it..headscratch.gif

    I think with the exception of 2, 3, and 7 her face is too dark. The "reverse raccoon eyes" has already been addressed in the first image. I'm surprised no one has mentioned her eyes. Contacts or Photoshop? More light on her face would have brought her eyes out more.
