Stunning. Well executed.

The shoot was good, then u added a really not invasive and good post production, a bit of Dodge and Burn, some sharpening for eyes..its' good!

Will have int on my mind for the next image!

I think you have a very good photograph of a lovely girl but you ask about the expression. I suspect you feel the same as me, it does not work 100%. I don't really know what is wrong, something very subtle but it negatively effecting the image.

Why two copies of the picture, above? I can't see any difference. maybe just getting macular degeneration but they look the same to me.

On a different topic, my impression is that her face has been well "airbrushed" but I suspect the girl needed less photoshopping. What I am saying is I think you have done a very good photoshop job but 10-15% less woud have been perfect. That's high praise by the way.

Ye I was intressting to se what you would think of it. Sometimes you are your worst enemy.

Well it is probably 2 images because of the link to 500px

Probably 10 to 15% less because of the image Size i little on this site. But il have that in my mind for the next retouch!

It is a very nice portrait photo, but a bit too shallow depth of field that makes the left side eye slightly out of focus and for a hair aficionado like me I would the hair to be more clearly defined without the slight blur.

Okey thank you!

Well I am like the shallow depth of field!
And I have not bought a 85mm f/1.2 lens to shot it at f/5.6. This image i think is shot at f/1.8. And the background would have been al lot more distracting.

As always it is always a compromise and a personal preference and you as the photographer is the final authority!

Is good, but her clothes are out of place, she is with make up , but her earings and her shirt is out of place, imagine her with a more glamurous or fancy clothing . She would look stunning.

Awesome work Marcus. Stunning capture, her expression is natural.
