Hi Per,

The light looks really good here.

There is however one thing that strikes me:
Here eyes are - for me - the points where my look stays after wandering over the picture.
The impact of the eyes could be stronger without the high visibility of the structure of her skin enhanced by your PP which is a little heavy-handed for my taste in this particular setting.

The picture is a good starting point to evaluate different post-processings. It could be interesting to see some more interpretations.

Best regards,
Michael

Per,

How you get to where you are, artistically has me in wonderment. Here you have gone in the opposite S direction of most modern portraitists, most of whom minimize skin lines and texture. Here however you seem to have used a special secret alchemy to impart the texture of wonderful Famascus Steel that has fascinated historians for the past 2,000 years!

....and you have suceeded! Bravo!
