Very nice. I like the side light. I like how placement of the light to the left rear has made the deepr part of the picture brighter. Nice pose and expression. Crop or clone out the light swich. Good job.

Default Thanks...

Good thinking on the light switch... Oddly I didn't even think to clone it and I didn't like the idea of cropping it only because I enjoyed the composition... Fixed it! THANKS!

Default thanks guys...

This is actually one of the first pictures I have taken with my digital camera... I took 2 days out of my life to learn aperture (apple program), and then I hardly had to do any editing to most of my photos. Thanks for the positive response, I was a little nervous about showing my work for the first time.

I like the composition very much,although I find her face to be to dark as compared to the white background. The light switch should be cloned out.

Hmm.....its a very nice shot, very well composed but i think a little "soft" light to the right side of the face would make it look much better.
