Great shot. Love the shallow DoF. Good range in the microphone and facial tones. Love the chopped off crop you used on this one.

I love the colors in this shot and the composition. Did your original shot have you off-center or did you crop it this way? Creative setup! Congratulations.

This shot is just awesomely sexy to me. The mirrored floor makes me feel like an adolescent trying to look up the skirt of some hot, young thang but the breaks really focus the attention on the shoes & feet. The shoes don't make as much of an impact to me but I just love the whole shot. Good job with lighting given the reflections inherent. Cute toes, too.

Great composition of such a simple subject. Fantastic use of posing with the shadow following the line of her legs. Just a great use of space to underscore the shadows, curves and angles in this. Sensual and tastefully done to boot.

Its just the least bit hot in the hallway but I love the lines; the femininity and how you've accentuated it in the doorway. Lovely

And I can see why you ask her to pose.

Very nice DoF. Clear eyes and I like the angles you incorporate between your angle of approach and the angle she is turned.

Well, I think here is where I would rather see more of one thing or another. I love the definition that's in the shot but I wish that if you were going to preserve the range that I see in the tones you'd toss a little blur at it and create more of a hazy, dreamy effect. It looks like you might have been a couple of steps farther away and thus produced a slightly deeper DoF on this shot; then again it may be the angle she's standing at. Either way, without a hazy effect this is the type of shot where I'd like to see those solid black tones take over more of the image than they currently have so that the lighter tones almost feel like they are coming sneaking out of them.

On a different tack, I love the treatment you applied here.

Great DoF. Doesn't look like you processed the skin at all; now I'm wondering if you did anything to it. The cooler hues seem to lend themselves well to the fabric but I'm not sure that I like it with her skin. Great definition in her hair and eyes. I like the crop as the portrait orientation confuddles the angle of her gaze.
