A stunner Artie. Not only is the lighting, pose and eye contact mega, the double pano is fantastically artistic.
Just love it. Only comment is this may be a good candidate for some channel blending to tame a few of the brighter whites, but I'd love my name on an image like this.
I really like this shot, the composition is pleasing, I do wonder though if the image was a little taller what would it have looked like, just to give a little more sense of environment.
