Nice lights, and excellent pose. I find the white chair on the right popping out from her shoulder a bit distracting. Her facial characteristic well defined, which is very good. Nice bnw too.

Hi There she is a cute girl, but I find her eyes slightly distracting it may just be me :-) but i find them slightly unantural white and to sharp in comparisson to the rest of the picture, But otherwise it is a cute shot

Lighting looks good to me.

As far as composition, I'd have choose a different crop.

I don't have anything in the way of critiquing, but this is a lovely photo and she's very cute.

I love the picture, nice job. the only things I see are the eyes do seem a little too white and for some reason the blur by her pinky kinda has my eye. If her hand wasnt near here face I would really notice it. It could just be my monitor though. Overall very lovely picture!

This little lady is very independent. I know the chair is distracting but, she is study and working on posing, so for now I am letting her pose her self unless it is just to way-out.

Wood....I'm interested in how you would crop the photo? There was some unwanted items in the background on the right side (as your facing the pix) that I could not move when taking the picture.

Everyone thank you for the critique. I have learned so much here at DPS on composition and lighting. My family and friend know nothing about photography to critique my photos so DPS is the best place for a honest and unbiased critique.

i would do something off the wall like change the color of the chair to bright orange. i'm weird though.

I'd have had her less center of the frame, and might have tried a crop just below her necklace.

Cropping just below the neck didn't work for me. It left the hand just hanging and cut off most of the beads.
