Great light!
her right hand has to much shadows
the backdrop is great with the color of the lingerie
really like how you got the shape of her body

Great shot Greg

First of all I like it (with reservation). I find that one side light is not suitable for the subject matter. If the model was lighted all the way around much of the shadows on her hand, arm, torso, and hair would have been avoided. Simply because pretty models in lingerie pictures are about selling a product or porn. I usually like this kind of light when the subject is an ordinary or older person with wrinkles, and strong facial and body expressions, or artistic fully nude.

Guys - Thanks for critiquing this one. Interesting how I didn't notice the shadow. It does seem to add a theatrical aspect to the image, which sort of matches the background. However, her garb doesn't match, so it's a little puzzling.

Armando, I also like how her lingeria matches the background color. And yes, was really shooting for body contouring.

Geraldb, all depends on the intended usage of the image. If it were shot for portfolio for getting catalog work I totally agree, but this one was more for artistic creation. I also have many shots of her illuminated on both sides, but those shots lack the contouring and seem a little plain. I guess this one, odd as it may seem, is the better of the images. But I am still sorting through them and may yet post a better one, which I will post if one turns up. Thanks for the in-depth critique.
