A nice portrait rather let down by the glare on her skin from the lighting. Get that under control, and the rest is looking good.

She's on a date. She looks across the table quietly thinking "What a moron". LOL This could use some skin smoothing and a little reduction of the hot spots above her eyebrow and below her eye. Great shot anyway.

I bet a lot of people will comment that the wrist in the foreground doesn't work. Otherwise this is very nice. The lighting is nicely balanced against the dark background. The model is pretty and her expression engaging. You might want to crop more off the top and move her off-centre for a stronger composition.

Good portrait but why is her hand in the front of the shot? - it does nothing but distract from her eyes.

Pretty eyes. Might have knocked down the shine a little.

Wonderful overall portrait and you have done such a great job capturing the expressiveness of her eyes. The only thing that bugs me a bit is her hand in the foreground which really takes my eyes right out of the shot and away from her gaze. It just doesn't seem natural or something. 9
