Love it! Beautiful model! Not sure about the shadow on the face. It kind of works but since the lighting is so beautiful it may have been better without it. Great pose also!

Thanks! I thought the same thing about the shadow hitting the face after downloading them to my laptop.

Oh, dear. Where to start.

For me

The shadow doesn't work at all. It's extremely distracting. If you had positioned her face so that only the horizontal shadow had landed across here eyes, that might have been interesting. Maybe.

She's to the side and looking out of the frame. Why? what's over there? She is disconnected from the image, and would rather be elsewhere. Or so it seems. Generally, when the subject is to the side the subject is moving or looking toward the center of the frame. Not the edge. It takes great care and skill to violate that rule.

The crop is too tight on the top of the head, and the inclusion of the shoulders just doesn't work.

The white spots on the wall are distracting to my eye, and the lighting is harsh and coming from behind the camera. Not a good combination, usually.

Sorry, but I'm not finding much that is successful here.
