Nice contrasts on skin. You did a wonderful job on the eyes. Very high fashion look. I have learned that for some reason when doing fashion and model photography, a common technique is to understate the nose, and you did a wonderful job on this one.

One other consideration - have you mirrored this? The eye tends to be more natural/comfortable to go left to right (Western culture thing I guess). Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Thanks for your comment. I liked the scratches on the keys because I know is 100 years old and the wear shows its use. But since you didn't know that history you thought it was dirt. Good to see it from your perspective...

I mirrored it and took away some of the "dust". Here's my result: //adriennegc.com/DUOTONES.htm

Yup same idea as mine yet so much better execution here ! Perfect lighting on your model and and the pose is fantastic, only thing I don't like is the shoulder of the model for two reasons i) would like to see more of her by only a fraction and ii) the shoulder seems blurred but not DOF... Good luck this is a 10 from me :0)

Cute idea. Maybe if the visual emphasis were more on the kisses and less on the model?
