 Yeah, it's me again. And yeah, my skin looks awful. Oh well. Lit solely by window light. I know you aren't going to like the warm tint to it... I actually had corrected it in the original version.. but I found that I like it better warm like this.

there is a nice sence of texture to this, the skin tone below the left eye is really odd and uneven.

Nice subtle lighting. I wish the glasses were a tiny bit higher so both eyes showed fully.

Very nice lighting on her face. Good composition. Too bad there's no lighting on her hair.

I wish she wasn't wearing glasses. It's a big distraction and breaks up the face too much. Otherwise, the lighting and model are beautiful.

This is really nice, could have been nicer without the glasses. You did a good job of eliminating any glare, but it looks like the model has very nice eyes, which are hard to see with the glasses.

Nice job, I really like the lighting in this one and her expression, feel like it tells me a bit about the girl in the photo. Only to nitpick though, I don´t like the way her glasses, in specific the top rim is cutting through her eye like that, I would have adjusted them so either they are either lower on her nose so that her eyes are above the rim or the total opposite. Got a 7 from me.

Love the colors in this. Would have liked it better without the glasses. Or if you must wear them, should be worn properly. They look askew somehow.

To me the glasses are ditracting...they are kinda hanging low....making it look like another eye.... nice picture

Ya know, this shot is REALLY good. I hope that people stop long enough to really see the colour in the shadow. Beautiful work. My only nit is that there seems to be a dark shadow on her left cheek that's a little distracting. Otherwise, I'd say you nailed it.

Really effective lighting! I also really like the glasses...they add something special to the shot!

Very pretty skintones and light.

The biggest issue I have with this is the fact that the right lens refracts the image of her eye. Otherwise, a nice portrait well composed.

Very nice lighting. I love the shadows. The way her glasses are tilted has the frame cut right through the eye. Her eyes are beautiful. It is a shames that the glasses obscure them.

this photograph has such great potential.. the glasses cutting her eyes in half take so much out fo this photo. if the glasses had properly sat where they should be this would be fantastic! they look too low onthe nose, and crooked...i'd love to see this retaken with her glasses sitting properly to show off her beautiful eyes
