Absolutely stunning! A classic example of portrait that many would like to hang on their wall. Huge soft light source flatters this model while soft shadows add to the gentle overall feeling. Perfect fit with wardrobe and especially the headpiece.
Low-key technique joined with mask and gloves adds to the mystery, while soft and perfectly touched-up skin adds to the sensuality - makes me really want to know the model. And than there is background - which is a perfect fit for her thoughtful look into the distance. It's almost like it reflects her thoughts.
It's because everything fits together nicely I find this photo breath taking.
Maybe, just maybe - I would like to see a bit more detail on the dark areas of the clothes. Like, just 2-3% more. But that's just me nitpicking. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
