I like it, Murhpy. Good color and sharpness. Skin tone looks perfect. The only thing I'd offer is that the highlight on her hand camera left is bright and appears to be a different color. The image dimensions appear non-standard and the model is a bit left of center, so I'm wondering if you didn't crop the image in post to limit its impact.

Thanks for posting it!

I agree with Chuck, the photo is very well done but I don't think the square crop is the best choice. or perhaps its too big of a square. The crop should be that the viewer falls into those eyes. Did you do any post on her eyes? curious minds and all that.

There is some PP on skin and eyes.

I did crop but I cropped to my liking, I didn't think there was much more to add by seeing the sleeves. Rolando spoke about non-standard crops in his workshop (he likes them) so I decided to try it.

Are you suggesting a tighter crop camera right?

I would suggest that. Overall, great image. Well executed & nicely lit. Gorgeous model. The highlight on her right hand works just fine as far as I'm concerned.

Beautiful as is...

I like it very much as is, although closer crop on camera right wouldn't hurt.

I crop how I like too.

Your PP is very good. I agree the highlight is fine -- I was simply guessing that it was brigher further out on the sleeve and had forced you into the crop you chose. If you're cropping to your liking, then you're done! But I'd suggest cropping a bit tighter on the right side also.

Yup....dayum good shot..

Wow, really nicely lit shot !!

Wow, beautiful model !

I like the way that they eyes come out so nicely and the shadows come out so softly.

I'm not a fan of the hot lighting on the hand (camera left) but apparently other people have no problem with it at all . . . so if you like it then, by golly, it is absolutely wonderful!

And I guess that I'll also join in and say that cropping a little more off of the right hand side would just add to the great shot that you already have.

I say all of these things just wishing that I could take shots this great.

Thanks,
PTL,
