  Superb, Gabriela. I tried this with brown flowers to match my eyes and it just didn't have the same effect.

  The complimentary shades of blue(eyes to flowers)really do it for me - offset against the complexion and the blonde hair go a long way.
What camera and lighting did you use?

  WoW! It's so perfect in every way: perfect composition, perfect tight-cropping, perfect skin tone, perfect angle, perfect inclusion of those pretty flowers and perfect soft lighting... such a professional photographic masterpiece! Such a beautiful face & blue eyes to admire too... I wish you were in Atlanta, so I could get a chance to capture your elegance... Congrats!
