Hi James,
I will comment this image as a boudoir picture since you posted it in this group.
My first observation is thumps up for having a more mature model.
Then I see the flat lighting, you would probably had a more dramatic result without the reflector with just one light source.
I'm wondering if the hat and glasses were necessary, maybe, maybe not?
As a rule of thumb, boudoir is usually done from a downward angle instead of up or straight on to show a bit of modesty. In this case I see it more upwards. Also try a more sideway angle?
I like the fact there's no clutter around her, a background that doesn't compete with the subject but maybe I'll crop it and hide the bottom part of it since her legs aren't doing anything special.
I hope this helps,
Marc
Hi Marc,
Thank you for your opinion and tips. Yes they helped and I will definitely take them into account going forward. This image was originally in colour but I thought it looked better in b&w.
I just have a thing about women in hats.
