This portrait was made with the Nikon D7100 with the Nikon 85mm f1.8 lens and a flash with a medium size softbox to light her with Phottix triggers. Love the color of her eyes, just used the healing brush in Photoshop for her skin, nothing extream and just a little D&B.

I like your "Lady of the Forest 2" from your portfolio much better than this image. Been struggling to put into words exactly why. The greenery in this picture dominates the composition, becoming the main subject with the woman secondary. In that regard, the picture makes no sense as to its purpose or story. Again that's just my response. In the other picture, the beautiful woman is clearly the main subject and the greenery and pose just add to the mystery without overrunning it. Feels like it has better balance too.
