This one is hard to critique, Igor. The EYES! They dominate what is otherwise a beautiful image...even without thoses EYES!!!

[Igor]

Thanks Barbara, Doug, Serge and Chaz.

A beautiful portrait, Igor. If I'd change anything it might be the tonality of the background. I think it blends too much with the subject. If it were darker she might appear to be more 3-dimensional in the photo.

I think the classic pose fits her well.

Thanks Charlie, 100% agree with you. The only thing that saves the image from total blending is dark areas in her hair and the eyes of course IMHO.
