C&Cs welcome.

I liek the color a lot, I'd try to paint a light mask or something on her left arm/leg to give it the same look as her right side.... I'd also desaturate the blue thing on the left.

it's not quite so noticeable in the B&W, but then the model blends into the scene

Thanks Caleb - good ideas and points here. She does blend in quite a bit. I like her pose but feel that it needs something and was attempting to inject that in the post processing (I actually added the tilt ).

Excellent job on the lighting, it is flawless. Although you've stated you like the pose, to be honest, I absolutely hate it. Because of the dress, the model comes across as very boxy, there is almost no definition of form from the armpits to the kneecaps, just a big curved rectangle. A small twist of the torso would have gone a long way to eliminating this effect. The pigeon-toed stance doesn't do anything for me either, but that's more of a personal preference thing than a "rule".

The only thing that bothers me about this shot is the darkness under the model's eyes.

jetrim - I like the pose but I also see the problems you are describing. The biggest issue I think is the "box" shape from her shoulders down to about her knees: she's pretty thin and the dress she's wearing pretty much eliminates any curves she has. I sort of like the pigeon leg angles, but it's just a creative thing to me, unnatural no doubt! I wish I could have gotten more time to work with her but I only got two shots of her before the shoot was over.

Ron, I see the darkness you do. I agree that it isn't very flattering from a glamour perspective, though it could be very edgy under the right situation (it doesn't match her outfit here though).

Thanks for commenting folks!
