Wow, Chris! Can you post a closeup? Was it your idea to have her model for you, or was this a commissioned work?

Good diagonals, languid pose, good strong lighting and I like her facial expression.

Chris, it's wonderful! Thanks for posting the closeups.
The first impression is stunning, I think because of the yellow dress, the way her body leads your eye back in space toward the focal point--her head. And the focal point works incredibly well. There is a lot to look at: her luminous eyes, silky hair, earrings, and expression that invites you to take a closer look. Her hand is well modeled, too. I love how you handled the darkness of the interior.
