Trever: Terrific shot. Pretty model who's looking into your eyes and connects. Nice skin and colors. Nice catch lights in eyes and wet lips. Nice makeup. A couple of things bother me. There's white stuff on her upper lip. Maybe it's my monitor. The crease at the bottom between her arm and torso seems a little odd and conflicts with her cleavage. Maybe you can tone down the highlights on her nose, cheek and above her left brow. Your name and logo should be on the mat, not the picture. Thanks for posting it. She's a sweetheart!

To echo Alan,

My opinion (nothing more... as I believe photography is art and to each his own).

The two things that stood out to me right away was the hot spots on her face were a little too "shiny" for me and the double set of cleavage her arm makes (could just be the crop if there was one). The highlights on the cheek and the one on her nose are the most distracting. The forehead could be toned down a bit, and there is a little bit of one on her upper lip. Just feels like it needs a much softer light as those hard light highlights draw my eye away from her eyes, lips, etc. which is what you don't want.

Nice picture though... great eyes. Almost look surreal with heavy dark line around the iris which I love.

Cleaned up around her left chin, decreased highlights. Tired, perhaps tomorrow I can clean up the armpit more.

Fixed the lip (was really glossy) and a bit more clean up and that's the best I can do!

Critiquing is a fantastic learning method. Like having mentors leaning over my shoulder. Thank you for the push.

I think what bugs me is the amount of hair on her forehead. But I'm not sure how to fix it.

Looks much better to me... great shot.

The hot spots are gone which completely changed how I looked at it naturally.

Good job!
