@shahab: Thank you! I had natural light coming from the right and a full spectrum spot light below her face on the left to fill in the shadows. First time I have tried that!

Cracking focus on the eyes, lovely shot!

@DaveB: Thanks Dave, I think! I have never heard "cracking" before, but I am assuming it is a good thing. Thanks for stopping in :0)

@Michael Rawluk: Thanks Michael. You are always too kind! She does have great eyes if I do say so myself!

Deedark from Northern England, United Kingdom

Great Picture - I love the the eyes looking one way while the head is slighhtly turned the other way
Gives the impression she just glanced at you and the picture was taken.

@Deedark: Thanks for the compliment. She poses naturally, so she can give the "look!" She actually had 6 teeth removed that day, which is why she is not smiling!
