 This is Ally again (see my portfolio for a bunch more of her). I like the way this turned out, after a LOT of Photoshop love. Too many steps to mention, as far as processing goes, but I hope this does well. Enjoy!

Congrats on your first 6+ score! I gave this a 7. Really strong composition and I love the lighting.

She's got beautiful big eyes. I'm a sucker for eyes. But, that's not the "Look" that MY wife gives me!

Love this - the crop works really well and it has a really great mood to it. Love the catch lights in the eye. Just a suggestion - I'd love to see this a tiny bit more sharp. I can tell it is a sharp image... but JPEGs always lose their sharpness when res'd down to 640 pixels. A bit of an unsharp mask would bring back some of the contrast that was probably in the original. 9

Excellent lighting on her face - but I find her shoulder a bit distracting from her face

Nice portrait but what look are you going for? The title implies (to me) a special kind of look I should recognize.
