I took this photo last night of my lady with the hopes of catching her in all her loveliness please feel free to tell me what you all think. taste less?

Apart from looking a little intense (not relaxed) I think you've done a great job indeed!!
Her face maybe has a bit much of a 'nothing' shadow on it ... would like that to be either strong or gone.
The shadowing elsewhere (I think maybe at least one spot was hand painted in for taste ;) ) all looks great.
The selective colouring really looks nice also.
I'd probably prefer the flower stem to fade into the shadows rather than disappear off the frame.

All in all though ... really nicely done.

I like it too. It seems very well done. The lighting is pretty good. The only real drawback to this shot that I can see is the "Are you done yet?" look she seems to be giving you. You're way ahead of me. I can't even get my wife to pose for me fully dressed :eek:

I like this shot.
The eyes sing well in this shot, but as others have mentioned her face could be more relaxed. Also the way her face is positioned, it's not receiving enough light. I'd prefer to see the tone of her face the same tone as her knee, which would have required moving the position of the light or model.
Not sure the flower needed colour here.

I'd love to see more portraits of her with different lighting; she is very striking and looks like she has a very emotive face.
Hope that helps

No - not less taste, it is a very fine picture and your lady looks beautiful (and with a little smile she would be looking more sweet ;-)). I like the play with the coloured flower - indeed, a fine picture!
