I really like the tonality on this. Had she been wearing, say, a white shirt (it helps to have some clothing in a "fashion" shot!), I'm sure this would have been more than enough of a fashion look to impress the agency (even though the model is only average).

How do so many good portraits of people with the very tops of their heads cut off work so well? Interesting.

I'd like to be able to work with lovely looking people like this.
