great shot of a beautiful woman, terrific lighting, nice subtle processing. But why, why did you choose to use this shelf as a background?! absolutely unnecessary IMO. Generally i like non-empty backgrounds, but in this case even a blank wall would be better than this shelf sticking out of her head.

I like everything about this photo other than that shelf in the background. Drop-dead gorgeous model, perfect makeup and lighting, great crop & composition, and spot-on post-processing (such a rare thing to see sharpening done right here on DPC!). But despite all that I just keep getting distracted by that darn shelf...

I bet you put that shelf in the BG to see if anyone would notice it. First, of course, they would have to drag their eyes away from that dazzling model.

I think I'm in love - help... :{

I think the way you composed the model and cropped/framed the image is fine. The lighting is good, but maybe a touch harsh. Focus is right on; her eyes are captivating. The negative aspect is the shelf(?) in the background. It unnecessarily draws away from the model, which is a great glam shot. Just my honest critique.

I love your lighting on the girl, and she's very glamorous, but I find that shelf in the background really distracting and cold, it doesn't seem to add to the image in any way. Gorgeous work on the girl though.
