I like the contrast between sides, but the light could've been bit softer on the right. Still, should've placed higher IMO. (nice lips)

Think you need a little fill on her right side. Nice shot though.

Nice control of the light essentially cutting Lindsay's face in half. I like the effect. I might have tried to move the hair that is casting the shadow on her cheek. Nice sharp focus for her eye.

I like the dramatic lighting. I wish the eye were a bit sharper

Quite a dramatic and emotive image.

ok I understand your going for a light dark split here but the light is to harsh on the cheek and destroying the detail and the dark side seems a bit flat 5

Nice use of dramatic lighting.

Not sure if it's the lighting or the processing, but the right side seems a little harsh and the shadow takes away from her pretty face.

lighting could use a little work. very pretty model, but the blowouts on the right side, w/ complete darkness on the left don't really work for me.

Classic technique, but maybe the wrong framing. Had it been a male model I'd suggest to bump up the contrast and add some grain to it as well
