Your lighting is incredible here. Well done with the slight overexposure. Great composition and love the soft feel to the shot. Her expression is great and the editing is spot on. Well done. 10

very powerful. the use of the blur and then the black is very nice. the eyes are piercing.

my only thing is I wish there wasn't such a harsh line betwen the pillow and the black. very good image though
