Greeting from the Critique Club.
This is a well-made portrait overall. The lighting style is aaaaaaaaaaalmost Rembrandt-style lighting wich is very flattering. The only nits I see are: 1- the model's pose is a bit uninspiring, even the expression is bland and doesn't evoke emotion as really good portraits will do. 2- the hair dies into the bg, I would avoid this by either adding a hair light or reflector to brighten her hair, or crop a bit tighter to do away with the very dark areas.
It looks like you have a good handle on controlling your lighting (though it does have a yellow cast as mentioned below), with some careful practice on posing you'll have stunning portraits in no time. Keep up the good work. |

| Photography's about a lot of things, but a portrait's a portrait and the subject looks happy with this one. It's a pleasure to look at. |

| Good lighting, focus, and color. The eyes very plesant to look at. Perhaps some slight dodging of the whites would have given them a bit more focus. (or if you did this already, maybe a tad more). Overall, a very pleasing portrait. -7 |

| I don't like the reflections in her eyes ... it just doesn't help this pic IMHO. |
