The model's fair and reasonably smooth skin tone contrasts effectively with the black clothing and dark hair. The pose is quite classical and gives the image a 'femme fatale' flavour. The decision to give the model bright red lips is a bold move but in this instance it adds an interesting splash of colour that makes this portrait stand out. Lighting is suitably diffused with only a mere hint of shadow to provide some nice sculpting around the model's jawline. Personally I think this image would be more suited to the black and white medium but overall it is an appealing and attractive portrait.
