Very beautiful portrait. I must agree - Wow - 370 views and only one other comment. This is a wonderful picture. I love the softness, nice pose, beautiful model and very well executed. And very tastefully done as well. GREAT WORK. I like it alot.

Before I kibbitz I should point out that this is an excellent image, very well executed, as are all your posts - I am impressed by your work in general. Onward - I'm no lighting expert so I'll do my best: Exposure diff between background and model does a great job of seperating the two, but maybe a little too much? Hard to say. I suppose the only fix would be to expose the BG a little more to bring it closer to that of the model (you've got the knowledge for sure, letter' rip). Light on her face seems perfect, but the shadows it creates are a little deep (particulary in the hair), was that gold reflector to the left or just to bounce the flash? (if the original shows more detail in the shadows disregard my nonsense, it's been a couple weeks since i calibrated this monitor) - in conclusion (hehe) is she looking at the lens? It's hard to tell but seems like her eyes are aimed at the flash direction. Kudos my good man, you put techniques i mainly talk about into practice, great work.
