Kevin, this is a great work! Great lighting and great model. I would not dare to go shallow depth of field in my studio like this, my lights are just too strong for it. I think the lowest I have tried in my studio is f/4. I guess I could always cover my lights with an extra layer of diffusion and go even more shallow while setting my ISO to 50. This should have finished higher.

Great capture. Equal possibilities is that the next thing she'll do is rip your head off with her bare hands, or that she'll suddenly laugh. I wouldn't describe her expression as neutral - it is anything but. Perhaps enigmatic. Very nice lighting and capture of skin tones.

What can I say, this is a stunning portrait. The light is beautiful, the focus and DoF are perfect. This is my top rated image of the challenge.

Very lovely modelling shot, this could take pride of place on a model's port. Nice light, perhaps a little strong down the bridge of her nose though. Pretty model, nice simple make-up and hair. Good work.
