I don’t see catchlights in her eyes. A little more light on her face would help.

Maybe one of the strobes didn't fire?

Download this, enlarge it, and you'll see white flash marks in both eyes, top of the iris.

They are not there in the original post and they don’t look natural in the second one. There is still a lack of light on the face.

If I didn't use flash, there will be no catch lights. I did the best I could to make you happy. This was shot using natural reflected light.

Nice pose. Catch lights look like they were painted in with PS and are in the wrong place considering the lighting, which is above and behind her.

Nice of you to notice that there would be no catch lights because the lighting was as it was... I tried to put some in to accommodate one member who doesn't seem to understand taht if the is no strobes and the lighting is somewhat even... thee will be no catch lights.

NO, you don’t need a strobe to create catchlights! I notice she is on a white surface. Room light should be sufficient to produce catchlights bounced off that surface. It is the catchlights that bring life to your model. Without them she has a hollow look. They are essential.

Funny .. they aren't there. I don't see how light all aroud would produce a catch light. Please give me an example from your file.

Catch lights are created by a strong light source and if yo look closely , in some instance you can actually see that light source. Sometimes you can see two catch lights if conditions are right and if an umbrella is used you ca nee the shape of the umbrella; however, if you're correct an the whole room is a light source wouldn't her whole eye become a catch light ... she look like Little Often Annie?

All I can suggest for you is to do some research on natural light portrait photography. There are numerous online courses and many books or articles available.

Catch lights are created by a strong light source a window, a strobe, a light bulb. Show me from YOUR files where a even all over light source creates a catch light
