Another of Tabitha, without the wet t-shirt. Working a bit in a more High Key lighting (may post a few more with the High Key, something I rarely do and likely need to improve upon). Honestly I am not 100% fond of this one, something about her expression, but I put in the time to process it so putting it her for critique as maybe what I don't like in the expression, others will. Happy Thanksgiving all.
These last couple of posts have reminded me so some stuff of posting here. Some of my images appear a bit darker (maybe 1/2 a stop) posted here than on my monitor (yes, it is calibrated). In the case of this image, the granularity is much more severe than my original, full sized images. When I downsized for the web, it appears the "graininess" doesn't resize correspondingly, so what is subtle on a 5000 pixel image is more pronounced on a 1000 pixel image. Guess that is why I am posting, to learn new things.
This is a lovely photograph.

During my long ago attempts to do Pictures To Exe 'slide' shows, we were always advised to use the 'Bicubic Sharper' option when resizing smaller and 'Bicubic Smoother' when going larger, rather then the standard option. No idea if this is relevant to you, lol.
You do do some cracking pictures!
Sadly the only almost foolproof way to present images for critique is to provide a download option, or a web link (to give you an element of control) to the full size image, though I understand why many don't want to provide this option.
Other than her eyes, I like the shot. To me, her eyes seem a little "askew." Not cross-eyed, per se, but somehow not fully aligned with the rest of the photo. I know I haven't described it very well, but to me, her eyes don't seem to "gibe."
You see it the same way I did Just Fred, just something slightly off about her eyes, and of course as the photographer, that is all I see in the image once I noticed it. Oh well, near miss I will call it.
Very well done mjc925.

I don't know why do me don't want to post downloadable images. That would help. The fingernails on right hand are so white, they attract my eyes to them, out or proportion to the rest of her.

You can say that again, grin.

I also love this photo. I'd be proud to create an image this good.

That’s a beautiful photo! And, I like her facial expression.
Nice work. And she is a pleasure to look at.
