All of them are lovely, but i liked the BW one the best

Lovely shots with great detail to the eyes.

I hate her eyes on the 1st image ... always try to pose eyes going the same direction as the nose.

#2 I love !!!

#3 Once again ... the eyes are too far.

#4 Too big a smile ... subtle is best.

#5 Good except for the eyes.

And on all you have the whites of her eyes too white. Keep in mind that no one has whites of their eyes at 255. And no one has pure white in color either. They are always towards yellow or brown or gray or another color. When I teach photoshop I always emphasize that.

Pose #2 should be made into a canvas mounted wall portrait !!! That really shows how gorgeous north american indians can be. Do you happen to know what tribe she is from ?

The B&W shot is my favorite because of her big smile.

Wonderful shots and a beautiful model for sure. The B&W is my favorite also. Thanks for sharing.

Here is my version of your # 2 ... I hope it gives you ideas on how to finish this beautiful portrait.

Unless I've seriously missed my guess (and I'm a big enough fan of Bollywood actresses to be pretty sure I haven't), she's of Indian ancestory, as in the country India, not Native American.

In #1, nothing is sharp - that bothers me a bit.

Eyes are not sharp in first and last, Looks like it is victim to your skin softening technique, If so a little history brush on the eyes will fix this. Your collection is gorgeous so I don't doubt your abilities, Maybe just an oversight.

thanks so much to all the comments / suggestions. greatly appreciated. the soft eyes was just me overlooking and getting in a hurry, edited 120 or so pictures that night, long 6 hours. don't you love it when you can't put the mouse / wacom down and sleep is not an option?

have a great evening everyone.

I don't dig the processing, but overall like #2 and #4.

Nice shots. she is very beautiful! and she does have a stricking resemblence to Parminder Nagra from ER

I love them all, great captures. On #2, the composition is great, and I know just what you are trying to do with it, but the out of focus wall to the right just doesnt work. Humans associate an out of focus wall being in front of their face right before they smash into it. I have fallen victim to this many times (not hitting the wall, but the focus). It doesnt ruin the picture, I still think its great, but its hard on the eye and doesnt help the picture.

Great shots, and she's gorgeous. Gotta love those eyes.

Great shots, I like the 2nd shot the most
