Wow, great light. I also like your PP that makes her skin still look natural.

thanks a lot, I keep the PP in this image to minimum cause I want to keep the rough look of her ^^

Very intense! one situation where deep shadows and female portrait go well together.

You made the perfect choice, I think! It looks great. I like women that look real, not the ones that look like chinese dolls

Thanks a lot, I try this style as I'm inspired by Michael Woloszynowicz on 500px, his shots are heavily retouched but keep the real look with rough skin !

Amazing picture! BUT. I see her powder - big no-no.
She would look better without makeup, imo.

I missed some spot in PP next time I'll try to shoot 100% natural, some girls are just not confident without make-up

I would suggest skin cleanser first, then brown mascara, delicate eye shadows, and transparent lip gloss. She is natural beauty.

+1 for that!

Also - I know this is not a critique thread, but in contrary to some , I personally think that this beautiful woman hasn't been given the justice to because your lighting is too harsh and the image is overly too sharp- when we look at people with our own eyes we don't see individual pores and every single blemish of their make-up. Portraits are meant to emphasize what's already there and translate the person's aura to the viewer. In this case I BET that she in real life looks delicate and fragile - yet I don't see this in your photo, It is like getting a soft baby and trying to picture it as a weather-beaten case-hardened sunburnt globetrotter!

That is a very beautiful, delicate woman , that could do with light make-up and would be pictured much better with softer light and less harsh treatment during post processing.

Nice to see a natural model.

Yes. Not only that, redheads beauties usually have delicate skin, which is thin and tends to dry, but it's glowing like porcelain (kind of envy here ) With red hair and porcelain glowing, omg, I love redheads! When you look at her left side, you see that white porcelain glowing just a bit, there is too much to show! And her amazing hair as well.
It's not a critique, but "show us more, lucky redcat"
