Pretty framing and very expressive glance. Wise choice of the black & white.

Hi Magda,
This portrait is really intense, for her eyes for sure, but also for the cut of her face, highlighting here eyes.Also the contrast and BW levels are well balanced that all details of her face make a deeper image. I dont agree with the chice of keeping all that black area on the shot, you could have achieve similar result with a tilted crop, maybe keepng just a small section of the black paper.

A stunning portrait with eyes that hold the viewer's gaze unflinchingly. It is also beautifully strong, with depth and a kind of secret knowing. You have captured much more than a pretty face:)

Magda:
A perfect BW portrait, the eyes are wonderful and the cosntrast with her blond hair. For me the "harsh" lien of the black paper cutting through her face, doesn´t blend well with the perfection of the rest of the image.

I love the eyes/eyebrows/skin textures captured here, beautiful detail and gorgeous light - that part works so well!

The big black collar just doesn't sit well in the shot, for me, though. If it was something else - a fan, softer fabric - it might work better.

Actually IMO part of the issue is the PP sharpening, which has created a ghost edge along the collar, really making the delineation harsh.

Hi Magda,
Love your perspective in your composition. Great choice of color. I love the expression of the model here. She seems very suspicious. HAHAHAHA!
Anyway, this is a great shot!

Hi Magda,
Very good use of black and white, composition is well accomplished and of course as you wrote, the eyes are the main subject on this portrait.
Best regards,
