Wow, thanks everybody! But this is one situation where the photographer can take no credit at all: it's all down to the beautiful model!

Lorraine, I had to smile at your comment. A little tired? The poor woman was almost asleep! I'd spent about an hour setting up all the lighting, and then mucking around with it and taking loads of shots. The lot of a photographer's wife is not a happy one! :)

Ha this is where you been hiding me old china lol.

a beautiful capture of a STRIKINGLY beautiful woman well done m8.x

Beautiful portrait, I might have moved the camera just a little to the left to lower the eyes, they look just a little tired. but all the same lovely image, very well done.

Steve what a beautiful portrait

photograph of your wife. You caught her eyes in such a wonderful way. Very nice!
