i really like it. very dark and moody, she looks quite vamp… might benefit from a tiny bit more light tone in some area just to pull it out a little more?
To be frank this is a shot I would have deleted.
Too dark or under exposed.
Terrible shadow from her nose running across her face.
Lack of expression also!
I have recently ventured into portraiture and would consider myself a beginner in the field.
These images wouldn’t appeal to my style at all. I find them a bit flat. The catchlight in the eyes in #1 is nice but catchlight on the tip of the nose doesn’t work for me anyway.
Thanks for posting them and these opinions are but from a beginner.
