    very nice, it is very cool and breezy indeed. i would suggest some moisture on the lips though, it may make her pop a little more

    I agree with iJoe that her lips need a little more zip. The eyes and lighting are excellant. I also like the way you used the DOF and the overall composition of the photo. Good job!

    What a truly great shot! The only thing I see wrong is her left eye, as we are looking at her, has some disturbing shadows in the corner. A little dodging in PS should fix that right up. There is a very small skin blemish on the same side cheek which is definitely a quick fix. Nice work!!!!

    Very nice. I like her intense stare and also the already mentioned DOF. I would recommend slightly burning in the left side of her face to define the cheek/jaw line a bit more.

    There is discoloration under the eyes that take away from her eyes, which i think, are her best aspect. Also, there is a glare that should be edited out of her eyes in PS.

    wow! thanks for the nice comments follks! and for sure the suggestions.

    yes, a bit of PS retouching will clean her up nice. thanks for the DOF comments. i was really trying to get her face to pop up from the position she's in looking up.

    Do you guys think there's too much contrast between the L and R sides of her face in lighting? should that be balanced out more?
