    Bepstar I liked this photo the first time I saw it, the lighting is very good, perhaps just a tad strong n her nose, but that provides an interesting highlight as well -- great job,looking forward to seeing more.

    Re: Black and white Portrait

    I like this shot. The lighting, the pose, and the emotion all work here. At first I had mixed feelings about the softness of the shot, in particular her face, but I think it works here. I'd like to see another version with her eyes really sharp to bring out her intensity, just for comparison sake.

    Re: Black and white Portrait

    I'd have to say that the softness does bother me. It looks like the door frame is tack sharp, so I feel like her face should be, too. I agree with the previous poster that a version with her eyes sharpened would do wonders for me. Other nit is the brick wall - I would burn it in a little or change it digitally.

    Hope this helps.

    I like the softness of her skin, perfect image of our female friends.Did you use a soft filter or is that just the way she is.Lovely looking woman.
