I really like this.

Just a tiny bit more detail, ever so slight, would really make this one better than excellent for me. Maybe just a very sligh shaddow under her chin and jawline. But I really, really, like this.

The color of her eyes is magnificent. The strap (?) on the right, though, is very distracting. The color of it is so bright that it takes away from an otherwise perfect image.

tasty.

This seems more like a stock shot for makeup than a truly dramatic portrait

cat said 986 days ago:

dawn - on reflection I completely agree with you about the strap. I wanted it to be an area of interest, but with the total paleness of the skin it does detract from the eyes.

ArneG - but I'm not even wearing makeup in that shot, I'm just a natural beauty eh? ;-)

dawn said 986 days ago:

cat, this is you? You're gorgeous. Nicely done.

zorilla said 986 days ago:

This might work without the snakey thing on the right.

I like this - I really like the way the face just appears out of the white page. If there wasn't a white border, it would just be a face on a giant white screen. In that setting, the red swim suit strap is a little incongruous, but it needs it for context and scale.
