    Javier - lovely portrait of a beautiful lady. I love the lighting on her but, I am not sure about the mesh...

    Another very strong image, Javier - nicely done!

    I agree with Richard, that soft material in front of your model's face is really more of a distraction than anything else and takes away from a strong image. Try to crop most of it out so that it is more of a prop and less of a distraction.

    Shooting against a black background can be quite tricky as the subject's hair often merges with the background. I usually shoot with a hair light when shooting against black. You can dodge the hair a bit to open up the background some more, but nothing like what a hair light will do for you.

    I might also think about opening up her eyes a bit. The light is not quite getting in there properly. Just a bit of fill from the bottom would be worth considering, but that gets you into a 3 light setup.
