She is, indeed, a very striking lady and overall, this is compliments her nicely. Two observations. The skin looks a little too perfect and to my eye, lacks some natural texture. Second point. My eyes are drawn to her chest because it takes up so much area and is slightly lighter than the face. I might have cropped it a little tighter but the big change I would have made is this. I would have made the chest a tad darker than the face which I would have left alone. I would not have cropped off the top of her head. That would help with my feelings about the space taken by the chest.
Thanks for posting this lovely lady and picture.

Perfectly groomed and shapred brows frame those mesmerizing deep amber eyes...
A very Beautiful Lady indeed...
As for the previous reflection about the dominance of her decolletage area?
Always a challenge Wayne... please invest quality time in VOGUE or Elle Fashion magazines (for assignments with ladies) or GQ (for assignments with gentlemen)
With time and experience you'll notice by turning the talent sideways just a tad greatly reduces the dominance of the decolletage area. Also wardrobe styling is your friend here... darker mat Hue & Chroma are oft used.
Please review my recent post https://static.uglyhedgehog.com/upload/nt/2022/5/19/735668-fgallery174_9.jpg
That said it's never easy... When the rotated talent turns their head back toward your lens often this results in distracting wrinkles in the skin of the neck (which are a bear to deal with in post). Best to handle them with selective illumination instead of post (in my humble estimation).
However this issue is very common for Bridal makeup... The Tone/Shade of many brides faces can be a full value less than that their decolletage. To this end I always color match facial foundation to the neck (never the other way around). btw, this is the reason I will never accept a bridal assignment without a "Trial" section. A wedding is likely one of the most important days in a women's life, thus the imagery from same is priceless and cherished.
Best Advice Wayne? Purchase an Artist's Color Wheel. Learn how colors are measured and effectively combined.
Term such as Hue; Tint; Tone; Shade and Intensity i.e. Chroma are not only relevant they are paramount in the effective use of color. While I was professionally trained many of the local colleges in your area may offer similar training in color theory.
Bottom Line? There is virtually no difference between color theory across all genre of art.
Final thoughts? Attempting to showcase bright white jewelry on any talent other than the proverbial "Porcelain Doll" presents a huge illumination challenge of considerable magnitude. Experience can be and oft is a brutal teacher here. Again wardrobe & accessory styling can play a pivotal role in the mix.
Again thank you so much for sharing your artistry Wayne...
I always enjoy same and it has been an absolutely pleasure following your epic journey.
