Very striking. The b&w is a nice touch but I hget the feeling that this would do just as well in colour. There is some noise in the shadows that you might like to try and smooth out. I also think the transition between sharp/soft here could be smoother.

I like the eyes, lighting, and expression. The gloved hand seems a little harsh for this portrait - makes me wonder about how different hand poses might have worked (no suggestions, however) and therefore tips toward distrating instead of enhancing. 7 nonetheless.

Beautiful portrait. You will probably get hammered from this crowd because of the BW but I think this is very nice.

Very soft and a beautiful model, but I think her hair doesn't work well with the rest of the pic, it seems like she just went swimming, I wish it were fuller.

Great stuff! The skin feels a touch overdone, unless she really has that sort of wonderful skin!

perfectly lit, in my opinion, although I imagine some would have issue with the shadows from the now and lips on her right cheek. To me, it adds to the mood. Her eyes are wonderfully done. (not voting yet)

the eyes are dramatic and the lighting really sets a good tone - but the blur / processing/ burning done around the image seems very heavy handed
