    The hair could use a lot of cleaning up, from her chest and on the right side especially. Theres a part on the right where her hair comes out at an angle, I'd like to see it taper down evenly. Really not liking the eye makeup, I don't really know why she did that, it makes her look like she has 2 eyebrows.

    On the plus side its an excellent exposure and great use of light. Flesh tones look good from here.

    thanks really appreciate it.

    that's my downside...cleaning up rogue hair.... hard when you are so pumped up taking pictures.... you realize all that (rogue hair) when you start going over your shots.

    Eye make up was idea of the Make Up artist... the shoot is "Trade" so MUA also showcase her artistry.... have to give shots for them too. It really looks cool in person

    First off, I am very impressed overall by the work I see from you. Not my specialty (I have none-just a total amateur) BUT I dont know how I feel about the position of the face and I find myself wondering where her right arm is.

    I truly apologize if this seems like a silly concern (the arm) and extra apologies if the reason we don't see it is because she has no right arm.

    I would bring her chin up a little and have her face the camera a little more. it makes her nose look big and help with the shadow under her nose as well. everything else is spot on and looks great. oh yeah the make up needs to be fixed. photoshop it out

    Clone stamp and heal brush are usually the easiest and most effective ways to remove rogue hair.
