| Very nice overall feel to this--I like the toning and setup. Her freckless distract a bit from that smooth tonal feel; I think it would be a bit stronger with that played down as well as the zipper at the bottom left and black trim on the lower right. Not to take away from this nicely done shot. (Not voting, at least yet, just commenting.) |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. What a great high key portrait! It is very challenging to get the tonal balance such that one still has good details and you have nailed the technique perfectly in this shot. Love the over the shoulder glance that Shona flashes at us. I think of those classic 40's - 50's pin-ups where the model shows off spunk and sex appeal with the over the shoulder flirtatious look. Your model certainly captures all that! Tones are great, lighting is superb, composition is wonderful - great work!! |

| High key B&W draws immediate attention to the dark eyes and really emphasizes the form and shadows. I like the over-the-shoulder pose... more interesting than straight on. Beautiful model, well done! |
