Absolutely LOVE this picture, my only thing that stands out to me is the hand, I would like to see more, or none at all. It is a bit distracting from her face. I love the crop and I think that it just overall is good! Great Job!!

I can see why you love it Chow.
The composition is wonderful and so is the lighting.
I like the little bit of bg blur too. Fantastic capture.

Another brilliant shot Jurgen. Strong composition, love the tight crop, and the expression is priceless. The DOF and color are superb....I wouldn't change a thing! Great job!

I like the crop too, but like Chow-Chi-Ching said, I would lose the distracting hand on the right. I would also eliminate the slight shape...like a branch that is a bit of a distraction on the left-hand side. Lighting, sharpness, and expression are excellent and revealing.
Great shot!

This one draws me straight to the eyes, without distraction, but that's just me. Great photo!

Wow, quite an 'alive' photo here. The eyes are sharp (good) and the off-center placement is a nice touch. I wish the teeth were a little sharper too, but that's a nit pick. Great shot.

If her teeth were any sharper she would have bitten my head off!! LOL
