Very nice shot, even though it's soft. Nice light and nice DOF. I like how all the neutral colors in her face, her clothes and the background blend complement each other. However, I might crop a bit from teh left side to take the woman out of the middle of the shot. Also, I think the black frame is very heavy for this shot and makes an already dark shot even darker.

nice picture, her smile is really soft. the picture is very dark, but I like it - it is moody. I'd try to avoid such central compositions though, and I wish she was looking somewhere else - now she is staring at something... anyway, nice shot

Nice portrait Eric.
Je pense que je préfèreais voir la femme un peu décalée sur le gauche de l'image. Mais, en fait, je ne pense pas que l'avoir au centre me gêne beaucoup.
Jolie portrait

Nice picture with a bit of drama because of her faint smile and dark background. If you composed this "un-centered", IMHO, this picture will look a lot better. Still a good one, though.

A very nice portrait. The details in her face are caught well. The background is very dark and the woman`s hair merges with it.

Very nice picture. The light is very good too - did you use fill flash? Whatever you did, it looks good. The soft background is also nice.

I agree with Dakowicz on the framing but it could be cropped to change that, just move her left in the frame a bit and you will have it.

Great Job.
