I like the expression,angle,and the pose overall.
The color is cool too Effraie.
The part about no body,is a little spacy to me.
But it works fine.

nice highkey image-i agree that no body is a bit spacey-but hey-still a cool image!

This is a truly beautiful shot. I like a lot the lighting, especially in her hair. Great effect on the skin too. And of course, her expression. I'm just curious to know why you chose a pink tone.

I am not really put off by the empty space, I think it helps achieving a 'dreamy' mood. Maybe crop a little bit the top to really underline the direction of her gaze, if you really want to change something here.

the pink tone, cause it's a warm tone, and the picture was a bit sad in pure b&w, or cold tone. I tried a more brown/yellow tone, but it was not very nice.
maybe this is a limit of my screen (non) calibration. Here the tone is not really pink, but red/yellow. (writing this, i realize it could maybe named "pink"...)

@all: appologize for my bad english, and thaks a lot for your coments!

wonderful!
I would have liked to see a bit of the body.
Even if it was just a faint outline, it would have added to the composition as there would not have been so much negative space.
The fact that you can see part of her neck and the mole on it, but not the rest of the body is distracting to me.
I like the idea and would love to see you expand on it !

fine emotional portrait, compliments!

here is a try with a bit more of the body...

is it really better?

I like it for the lines.
By keeping the body in, the viewer's eyes are directed slowly upwards by the gentle curves of her body.
They are very faint which also give a very intimate feel.

I like this one. The very soft edge of the arm is perfect in this photo.

I have to agree with mikeock, without the body it becomes a floating head and that too me is just a bit spooky. I do like the expression, lighting and contrast.
I also feel the off centre of the subject helps to make the photo. Nice work

"High key" tecnique does want that lines go to melt with backgorund. So this photo is perfect. The soft pink instead of traditional white it's a piece of genius. Personally I would have preferred her hair a bit more overlighted (like they are in the other photo you linked), but this it's just a detail.

i'm in love with this soft light pink you choose. body or no body i cant take my eyes off all the details in her hair/face. great photo.
