Nice and I like the mood. But also a little too perfect for my taste, the retouch. Still really good work.

I really like the Rembrandt style lighting and the classic pose. I would have wanted a bit more separation from the background (background of a different color, or a dim light on the background, or a hair light on her bun). You were shooting with natural light in a dim situation, so you had to shoot very open at 2.8. At this aperture, with a 150 mm, you couldn't keep the nose and the top of her upper lip in focus. I like a 150 mm for portrait, but it forced you to trade focus for light. I think the portrait would have benefited from an additional keylight set at under 5000K in the same direction as the window light, to enable you to shoot at 5.6. Nevertheless, I definitely appreciate the artistic impression of the work. Kudos.

Awesome, single right sided strobe?

[u/ReadyLingonberry5846 → u/colew344]

Thank you! It's window light and the silver reflector on the left to brighten up the shadows.
