Great light, looks close to natural light. Love the simplicity.

Great photo. I'm big on hair and impartial to photo's that do it justice.

Drawn to her right eye, is it unnaturally bright? He hair does look great, she really is beautiful. Love the lighting and pose.

Thank you Joseph. I try not to overdo dodging and burning.

Great shot. Love the lighting and pose. The way her hair curls around her left eye is great.

Love it :-)
Single light source and no reflector?

Thx. Softbox above and round white reflector below.

such a delicate beauty and photo

Okay here's my opinion I love the lighting, I love her face the way her left eye is framed by small portion of her hair, the way the hair falls gracefully across the left side of her face and down her left shoulder. I love the triangle created by her arms almost everything about this makes it a spectacular photo the only thing about it that I don't like and this just goes back to my original training as a photographer and that is that she is dead center of the photograph. If she was little bit offset I think I would've liked it even more. I gave it a 4 out of 5. Like I said that's my opinion

Great light and all, yes, blah, blah, but you did a fantastic job pulling out a curious moment in this image! Love it!

Lovely lovely, lovely. Model, lighting, retouching.

This is an excellent image. I can view the catch light in the model's eyes. I believe this type of lighting is called broad light which causes the triangle light on the model's face away from the light source. The shadows are excellent. I am new to this sight. If there is one thing I could suggest is that you might want to consider cropping the negative space on both sides of this wonderful model.

This is an awesome photo, I just wished they're was more lighting on your model's face to highlight her eyes. Awesome photo nonetheless.
