Winter Shots with Summer

I recently did a portrait shoot that was a Winter Styled portrait shoot so I thought I would post and find out what people thought.

I am looking for feedback on: Lighting, Pose, Creativity, Editing, etc...
I look forward to your feedback thanks

Very pretty model. The MUA did great.

The lighting is great. The pose is nice but it almost looks like her head is just floating in space. I guess there isn't enoug of her body in it to show the head is attached to it. Maybe a higher f/stop and/or more of the model's shoulders would fix that floating head perception.

Overall it's a great collaboration between model, MUA and photographer.

Gorgeous girl.

Personally my first instinct was to want to drag the image to the right a bit (screen right). It somehow feels a bit squashed. This is of course very subjective.

Love the necklace, lashes and white makeup. Actually I like all the makeup - she is gorgeous but if you are wanting ideas for the future, she looks very tanned for winter.

Can't help with any of the photo stuff

Liking this shot! can you post some lighting info? i saw 3 catchlight... the upper left might be an umbrella/softbox for main... center might be for fill or is it commander mode... but i can't figure out what the lower right might be for? it's very much muted compared to the other two...
