And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
Oh yes I like these kind of photography too. A very good start.. good pose. The lightning is I think the part to grow in and get it perfect one day. But I enjoy this photo for sure!! A beautiful lady this is! Mich
Very pretty lady and lovely portrait...experimenting with lighting and shadows and you'll find some wonderful dramatic or moody shots too...look forward to more...good work.
I agree well done.
I suggest to use the Portraiture filter into CS4 which is specialized for fashion photo and women skin improvement.
If y would like to test, i can do it for you and you can compare the differences.

And I go with the rest about the lighting and the shadows, like the shadow of her hair on her face on the left side, small things to think about for the next photo!
Color and clearity are good, aswell the pose of the young lady
:o)
