Your left eye may be a bit to dark but it looks pretty darn good to me.

Very pretty & just the right amount of smile to make it sensual. If that makes sense.

you're beautiful and the image shows it. Image is sharp, the highlights are in control with detail, the shadows have a few spots that roll off into a black abyss but they are inconsequential in my opinion. The lighting is smooth and soft the shadow is deep adding some elements of mystery yet we still maintain contact with the shadow eye. I might clean up the eyes a bit, dodge the whites to reduce the veins. I might clear the smaller catchlight and just leave the softbox reflection. eh? maybe not, I'd see how each looked then decide. With the tight crop, i think the hand in the hair loses some of its purpose for being in the shot. Overall I like it very, very much! Nicely done!

All in all I rather like it. You are quite beautiful!

Critique. The pose is a fairly good one but IMHO it needs some tweaking to make it a great one. For instance the upraised right arm has blocked the main light from illuminating your neck leaving a distracting shadow across it. I would drop that arm next time. The extreme upraised left arm, along with the head tilt has created some folds in your neck which are not flattering. Maybe try not raising that arm quite so high next time and I think if you turned your head a little straighter on to the camera and then relaxed your shoulders the folds will be lessened. I like the higher camera position and what it has done for your eyes, but the main light was too low. The main light catchlight should have been at the 11 O'clock position in your eyes, not the 9 O'clock position. I would like to see a little stronger fill light to lighten up the shadows a bit. Wetting your lips just before making the capture will give them some shine.
