    I like the idea (I may just try that sometime too).

    I would try cropping a little bit off the bottom to remove the star and a bit off the left to make the model a bigger part of the photo.

    too hot, like lava said. Good idea, just needs a reshoot with better light, and maybe a fill flash. Also, that right side glare detracts.

    Minus it being a tad "hot" around the stars/face, I like the idea. An interesting concept, and don't personally mind the glare.

    Well done,

    Jared

    Re: Store Model

    The tonality and subject selection are fine. The composition needs something, perhaps a different framing of the elements.

    The negative space in the lower left is out of balance, partially because of the skirt. The suggestion to crop the lower portion of the photo might help.

    Is the focus on the clothing or or the sunglasses or the lighting or the composition? When you answer that question, then you can strengthen how that element is portrayed and emphasized in the picture and the overall image/effect will be stronger.

    Generally I like the concept, but it could be refined.

    This is a mannequin by the way. Usually models are breathing, some are anyway

    Looking forward to seeing more photos!

    Re: Store Model

    Wow I had given up on getting comments on this Thanks to all of you for your suggestions; I hadn't noticed it as being too hot but you are perfectly right, it is.

    LOL, "Mannequin" was the word I wanted! I knew "Model" was wrong but drew a blank as to what the word I wanted was.

    Thanks a lot all!

    I like the idea. I was tempted to take photos of some store mannequins before but felt that I'd look like some kind of weirdo and chicken out.
