Thanks to everyone who voted and commented. I was really unsure of this photo. Felt it had too much shimmer. Guess I got carried away with the shimmer powder. However the way her eyes looked made me enter the challenge.

Outstanding eyes and perfect subject for low key. Even the reflections on the dark lips are adding to the image. Truly outstanding.

creepy,,,too much sparkle for a low key shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.

wonderful. Her eyes look like old old ivory. The only nit pick from me is her missing chin and loss of detail for her lips. And that's only because the rest is so heavily textured.

I would want a bit more details in the bottom of the frame; or, perhaps, crop the lower 1/5 out. 7

Loving this!!! Reminds me of one of grigrigirl's shots - but different enough to stand on its own merit. Very nice work. The tones are spectacular.
