I'm not sure about the ring flash in the eyes. Generally speaking, pros tend to remove obvious clues as to the lighting used. So often I can immediately say 'Ring Flash' , "Soft Box' , 'Two lights used' etc which spoils the image for me. I love this image but hate this so very obvious and distracting aspect of the eyes. Just IMHO, of course :)

Pity about the ring flash, this has everything going for it except the lighting. Because you have one please restrict the way you use it. I have the 600 speedlight with a simple eye highlighter screen, works a treat

Ring flash is distracting from her gorgeous green eyes. Red hair and green eyes are rare. Try again with different lighting and it will be a winner for sure. Model is gorgeous.
