I think she looks great. Lovely pose and nice, soft lighting.
The only thing that is bugging me is her dress. I dunno if it's the color or the pattern, but if you notice all the background colors are sort of earth-toned. The wasll, chair, sofa and carpet all have the same tones. The dress does cause her to stand out, but it almost looks like a staged shot (in a good way) but the outfit just doesn't mesh with the surroundings.
It is knit-picky, but that is what I am noticing.

Paul, good job, nice shot, great smooth tones, the palette is IMO a bit disonant. Hey, whatever the portrait is attractive. NJ

LOL!
Yeah, Peta unloaded on me last night, and y'all are right. At the moment, I just thought to move the couch closer to the front windows to soften the lighting, but never noticed three bold, unrelated patterns in that central space. I brought couch and wall saturation way down to minimize it, but it fails even as black and white for that.
That, and her foot.
It's unanimous thus far: no one likes that Paul cut off her foot. ;)
Thanks, Melanie.

Yes, on both accounts, NJ: she is attractive here and none of the textures are even trying to co-operate with one another. ;)
Thanks for your input.

Haven't seen the other one yet but I must say her skin looks perfect. She sure is a beauty and I love the pose.
Best wishes,

The skin tones look very nice. My only concern is cutting off the leg on the left. Nice light. Don.

Thanks, Sal.
The more I look at the visual dissonance in this shot, the more I like it.

the lighting for this was au natural: a large glass door about 4 feet away created a very soft light. So soft I put my flash away.
Thanks for the compliments, Sonny.
