I really like that, but I would crop the right side out as I think it could improve it.
Was this @1.4? If so, amazing job with the focus.

I don't remember, quite some time has passed, but judging on the DOF I would say I used something around f/2.8 or f/4

Thanks! In fact I made this for use as a cover to my Facebook artist page (hence the writing), but then I liked it as a photo solution too, the empty space works well I think, like you say, it sort of creates a story around her.

Yeah, I thought about that possibility. I'm afraid it would turn out boring If I clone the stairs. Somehow those highlights seem to give the scene a character. I don't know...

Thanks! Split Toning in Lightroom is a very powerful instrument. You can make duotones, as I did in this case, or you can make tinting of colour photos, in a much subtler way than you can do with Curves in Photoshop.
It has a lot of potential, if only people would take the time to dig in it.

This photograph is a beauty! I don't have any problems with the burnt area.
For me it fits nicely to the whole concept with dual-tone and the
"arty" look of the model.

One question: how would the photo look when you cut off exactly at the vertical lines left and right?

A beautiful shot! I like it as is. The highlight is part of it and the fact that her face appears to be looking towards it suggests an idea or dream. I love it. The processing gives it a fashion mag feel too. |

You mean like this?
It's a possibility.
It becomes a different photo. This way, the emphasis is much more on her face, which becomes stronger and more emotional.
At the same time, the ambient loses character, it becomes more anonymous background, like it could be any blurred background.
Thanks for pointing out this alternative, it is an excellent example of how a simple different cropping can change dramatically the meaning of a photo!

Now it looks like a cinematic format. Very trendy these days.

This photo is well chosen. Her expression makes the viewer curious to what she is feeling or thinking.
I like the crop version and I also like the energy of the highlights.
Nice post work as well!

Yes, the cropped version was exactly what I liked to see. IMHO it works VERY well. Of course you lose something of the setting but as a portrait it's now perfect! I'm envious

I prefer it as you first showed it to us, without crop etc.
It is like you have frozen the action in a movie.
To tell you the truth, I would be very willing to watch this movie
