Thanks to everyone for their comments and feedback on my last image, and to Pete and Sherlob and franfoto for the awards very much appreciated.

Going with a mono headshot of Fredau, with this upload, just like the reflective nature of the pose and her eyes too.

A classy shot which I love. I notice many have said it has a timeless feel but i think it looks like one of the early mono images ; possibly her pose and thoughtful expression takes me to the early 19th century .Love the skin tones and the way you have caught the gentle curves of her bone structure.
