Taking A Closer Look
As we walk around whether in the neighborhood or on vacations our eyes are attracted to something and we choose to either ignore it or pick it up and carry it around before discarding.

Model testing
This image was done in late 1980s on Polaroid's instant slide film Polapan - a prefect film for beauty and boudoir photography as skin tones were rendered silky.

Hi, Don!
Beautiful photo!
The mood is nice, the pose, and I like very much the composition and color.
For me, the only problem I see is that the hair blends with no separarion with the background.
Maybe a subtle rimlight should be needed.
Regarding of the pose, both forearms are perfectly symmetrical.
Maybe I would try to crop from above and left.
Overall, I think I prefer the second one, there is more connection when she is looking at the camera.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks! The blending into the background was intentional. I actually liked it better. Added more mystery. Zero distractions to the subject. Crop was to taste. Didn't want her falling out of frame on the left
