Ah, Milano. I have the exact same shot at home I think :) Except for the man. Which makes all the difference. Congrats.

Great capture. The Photomatrix post-processing is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy too much for my taste, but I guess that's personal preference.

I loooove the PP on this one! Pol. filter? Highlights toward yellow? Selective saturation? Unshgarp mask? Tell me!

Would have been even better with a long shutter, but still, marvelous!

A shame the horizon is off, and you should have removed what I can only assume is lens flare on the left. Did you crop most on the left side?

Anyway, lovely subject!

Focus often looks better if it's on the closer ey

Great lightning and skin-PP.

Personal taste; not so much. e.

Since I made a promise, that I wouldn't comment without giving both pros AND cons, here goes:

What makes this photo so great is the "cleanness" of everything - it seems cold and sterile, while the subject (a partly naked female body) is usually portrayed completely differently. Perfect! Not to mention the lighting, crop, sharpness, skin-texture ect...

I see a few things that I would've liked you to change:

- The stray hairs in the back of the neck. Hell of a job, but I guess just removing some of it would help
- The two black lines in the background going from top right towards the neck. I'm guessing the cloth / paper / whatever had some folds in it?

What I assume is a PP black line at the outskirts of the iris is a tad overdone. Same with the white in the eyes.

Great lightning on the hair (the real subject).
