Wow I absolutely love this image, well done. A very small thing but I would move the crop on the right side just a hair so the eye makeup is not cut off.

A nice image Rob, but from a technical standpoint, I think you've pushed the image a bit too hard. The background has blown out and that suggests a bit too much brute force resulting in overexposure. I don't love the way part of your model's forehead gets blown out.

I'm also wondering a bit about the crop and if it were my image, I'd probably lose a bit of the left hand side of the image; perhaps ~ 20% of it. I agree that you do want the white in the image, but perhaps not quite as much as you have included.

Very dramatic. Like it.

I like the image, but I would have left more space along the right border just to let more of her face fill the frame. Moreover, keep in mind that 'tangent' should be avoided at all cost (in this case her left eyebrow and eyelashes are too near to the right hand border of the frame, so introducing disturbing elements - thus called 'tangent' - to an otherwise rich and compelling image).

Nicely done.

I like the colors and the PP in general with the exception of Manfred's comments.
I get the feeling that it was taken with a WA lens aimed downward causing the protruding nose
and receding chin...looks kinda strange. IMHO

[DaveRob]

Well thank you for the comments and thoughts, Ill take on board and see if further efforts can make improvements.

Thanks for all your help on this photographic journey Im on

The basic elements of a terrific portrait , agree with Manfred on making the adjustment .

Nice shot, after reading Chauncey's comment about WA perspective I agree. But, that is why we are all here to learn and improve
