I personally Love this shot.
But the small-ish size here doesn't do it justice.

Very striking portrait! I really like the eye/hair colour combination here. I think the close up really does this photo justice.

Good shot I like the framing.

Sweet!! I like the entire shot. I also like the reflections in her eyes that seem to somewhat look like she's beaming light out of them.....(could be just me though....in my current state....:rolleyes:)

Nice! Piercing eyes indeed, but I would have liked to see some more of her face.

Amazing sharp image. So beautiful. But the eyes would just be so much more amazing with a nice catch light from a flash.

Thats just me 0.02

True that. I was using what I had, a 45" shoot-through umbrella an a snooted flash behind her (which you cannot see. It was a hair light.) I have some other shots of her. She's a great model, even though she doesn't model.

Tamron 28-75. I love her hair. It shimmers magically in the light.
