Lovely portrait... but, for me, the orange on the right is very distracting. There isn't much of it... but it draws the eye away...
One terrific portrait deserves what I hope is another:
Looked at your site, Nicholas. You've got a lot of great work, and I have a lot of respect for your lighting ability. As I have none myself, it seems pretty top-notch to me.

I thought this too, and I did a few without it. But it felt like it was missing a little pop in it without it to me. I do see your feelings also though. I appreciate the open commentary.
I tried to stay awake last night to try and shoot some meteors but didn't make it very long. Instead I got this. Nothing Special.

Canadian War Cemetery in Groesbeek. Final resting place of 2599 soldiers who died while liberating the Netherlands in 1944.

Hey thanks!
Of course you can! haha. Just PM me which photo you want for your wallpaper and I can send you the full size photo.
Today's photo....
Thought this was a cool angle to shoot the falling leaves. Not bad I guess.
yet another fantastic one
well done.the adirondacks in the fall time. oh how i miss the views.
wow
& mine for today, following the shots of people: my brother.
Its clickable, so click it! It looks better when it's the full size.
School performance today. I don't like to show the children's faces on the interweb thingy, I tried the cartoon effect of the (new) toyviewer.
Canon 30D, 1/125s f/3.2 ISO3200 85mm
@TheSVD, I used the Canon EF200 Mk1 in the previous image.

Boom. Headshots.
Boom! I'm mesmerized...
I'm going to be the contrarian here and say I actually like the splash of color on this one, and it doesn't make me take my eyes off of her. She's a natural beauty, and you captured her very well.

I wouldn't mind the color if it were on both sides of her face, but it's all the way at the right and is indeed very bright and distracting (and the stripe pattern certainly doesn't help). Otherwise, it's a super portrait, and you're very lucky to have such a photogenic model to pose for you.
Bit of background. I was given some comp tickets to a HUGE exhibition called Salon International in London. I took it as an opportunity to practice taking pictures of people and practice using manual mode. Any C+C would be more than welcome!

Boom. Headshots.
I'll join the side that likes the use of orange. There is a lot going on here with color that frames the face well. The green sweeps down from the left and the orange rises up on the right. They cup the face between them. No matter how we disagree about color, we all like the shot. Nice.
Don't ge me going on that grey strap, though...
Just me...

Boom. Headshots.
forget the color. This woman is so beautiful and photogenic. Great shot, but greater subject.
Didn't know my portrait would raise such a debate!
Thank all of you for your compliments. It was such a quick, impromptu shoot that we just went with what clothes we were wearing.
And yes, she is very very pretty on her own and a pleasure to work with. She makes my job much easier from a lighting/composition stand point.
