The scent of a woman

Portrait in studio, lighting bounced by 5 studio flashes, and turned in ps

Nice portrait overall - good exposure and white balance, as well as a softness to areas in which detail isn't as necessary.

Just some nitpicks (not sure if you want 'em, but if so here they are) - It looks like you did some skin softening and there may be some artifacts from that, particularly on the insides of the shadows of her collarbone (the right side of the left shadow, the left side of the right shadow). The hair in front of her eye bothers me a little bit; just something to keep in mind - I know some people like this look, but it usually doesn't work for me. I'd also consider cropping it a bit differently so her eyes weren't centered in the whole frame. Once again, this is a well done image - these are just some suggestions I have.

I am posting my version and think it makes the image look a lot better.

Thanks for its work and its opinions, greetings

Lighting seems a bit contrasty in lighting (deeper shadows, like her right collarbone area), which seems to be contrary to the overall 'feel' of softness of the photo conveyed by the veil. And the light is somewhat 'hard' (seen in the defined shadow edges of the hair across her face). Larger light source and more fill intensity would fix those things. Right now I am torn between thinking of the subject as a soft female, or a hardened gang member trying to appear somewhat feminine!

Interesting shot. I like it very much

I would have liked the BKG being a bit darker, to go with the flow of the image, but overall i think you did a good job!

What I meant was 'or a hardened female gang member trying to appear feminine'! Girls belong to gangs, too, here.

I lament
Thanks for your explanation

I knew I smelled something.

I would have put some lipstick on her or some gloss on her lips....they seem dull to me.
