Just a simple portrait trying to use the side light and shadows behind. Use filter to soften a little.
WS has a more even backdrop.

Maybe a kind of enigmatic smile.

Very nice portrail, good lightning, I dont like the Addidas written on her shirt. May be a traditional Chines Dress was better.

Clean, simple portrait with good tones, especially on the skin. My one comment would be to watch out for backgrounds - her head is split by the join between the black/beige background colours. A uniform background behind the head would be better, i feel.

But still not a bad portrait and the greeners adds contrast and interest.

Hi Murray,
A fine portrait of this nice looking Chinese lady. The light from the left creates a fine warm natural skin tone. Her smile is priceles! Well captured my friend.

Nicely done Murray. Very good attention to your light source, positioning her near a window; it seems there was also a good reflective source to your right, creating a very nice edge light on her left cheek and arm. Good, shallow DOF and nice off-centre placement.
Nice work, a shot you should be proud of.

Hi Murry,
Great job my friend.Congratulations on using the day light in a wonderful way.The light from right source is also making the skin tonal values more detailed. I like the way to keep the model close to the window.

Wonderful job,Well done.
