There are a number of things about this image that cause it to be spellbinding.  Well done.

I agree with hepcat. Great shot with superb lighting control.

Beautiful photo, lighting and subject.

Wonderful picture! If I may be nitpicky: The upper half is flawless, the light, the colour pallette, the look(!), just, as hepcat said, spellbinding! But when I get the full picture on my screen, my eyes are drawn to the strange lines between the arm and the dress. I have no idea what is going on there, maybe a relic from the editing of the skin?

I agree, perhaps this is rendering from the CV 75?   Or post processing?  The arm across the dress is somewhat distracting.  But!  It is a beautiful model and a beautiful pose and perhaps people not inclined to analyze a photo would not notice.

The highlights are a bit weird, too much really. Colours don't do it either

Nice work attempt though.

A beautiful photo, as breathtaking as the subject. I think the photo is a little overprocessed, for example the line along the arm. A little less editing would perfect the artwork.

Thanks for your comments, and observation regarding the strange lines, I will review my processing of the raw file.

Again Gary, what a wonderful portrait! Forget the lines, just look at her face!

The strange lines are most probably caused by lightening the arm significantly in post to match the rest of the body color, I guess the arm wasn’t lit evenly with the rest.

So, either you will need to fix this in post, or you would need to crop. Personally, I would do the later, as I don’t want spend time editing too much.

But, as others said, her look is great.

What’s happening around her right arm? Strange phenomenon…

In the style of a David Hockney painting – and the lighting is fine as it is – superb portrait

it is in priciple an excellent portrait. Looking at the thumbnail of the "Favourite image" section, the highlights appear a bit as whether the lady would have "done a Sunak" before the picture was taken.
