I think the lighting is great, but the pose looks really uncomfortable. If she had her head tilted up a bit more if would really improve it for me

I really like the colours and the way in which you have lit the whole scene creating a slight soft effect. I do tend to agree with Paul the pose looks slightly uncomfortable, nevertheless a great picture. Well done

I agree with above - lighting is spot on! For me I too would like to see the head tilted a little higher and to see more of the shoulder area on the right -catch lights in the eyes spot on too!

Thanks for the compliments all.
To be honest I was expecting more neg comments as I wasn't even sure if I should post it.

Still good feedback on the pose and T.Y. for the confidence boost about the lighting.

I welcome all feedback pos or neg for me learning from others experience is a great way to improve.
