This is a stunning picture. The eyes are perfect. The red and green are very complementary. The fabric is arranged beautifully and acts as a great frame for those stunning eyes.
Wonderful work.

Wow those are some stunning eyes! They just grip you. Really wonderful detail, excellent clarity, and so so sharp and fine. You've done a great job with the rich tones and colors here, and I love the lighting used from the side to emphasize the contours of her face and the cloth, and to make both eyes really glow. Did you use a softbox for this? How far was it from the model? Wonderful contrasts of colors too, the reddish tones of the irridescent cloth really set off her gray-green eyes well. Nice dark background of a neutral color for her to pop out and excellent contrasts. The focus is spot-on. Only thing I'll nitpick is the fact that her eyes are rather centered in the shot, and I feel that there would be more balance and a stronger composition if the eyes were set either just slightly higher or lower in the frame. Otherwise just beautiful, very dramatic. The line of the cloth at the bottom left corner leads the eye up to the rest of the shot. TFS!

Outstanding work Martin, it could be your best image on the site... Great lighting and focus. The red material creates the perfect frame for the mesmerizing eyes. Nice to see that there are also a few true photographers sharing their work here.

I love this kind of photos. ¿Could you take one just like this but covering her forehead? Maybe leaving just part of her eyebrowns outside of the cloth? Congratulations on this excellent shot. TFS

Hi Martin! I like her bold stare directly on the camera while she's hiding some of her face. The lighting is fine. I like the iridescence of the fabric.
TFS,
Freddie :)

This is awesome. Very striking and powerful. It exudes a sense of mystic energy and very styllish and professional. Superb capture of detail and skin tones.

Reminds me of a very famous magazine cover from National Geographic. Well done, though tthe deep shadows are a bit telling of the saturation enhancement.
