Recently, I taught an Off Camera Flash class. Paige was my model for the class. We were outdoors but it started to rain. Luckily, a nearby restaurant let us conduct the class in their dining room.

Very beautiful work with both the light and the shapes. There's a great curve to her pose, and I love the mass of hair. I'm finding her dark lips are a bit lost to the background, would be my only critique. I do love how her skirt disappears into darkness, with the folds catching the light. Gridded light from camera left?

Great shot, very dramatic. Only two things jumped out to me: her lips are lost to the background, and there's a weird shadow in her armpit. Other than that, I wanna say that I kind of want to see he dress tail off instead of being cut off at the edge. But those are very nitpicky things. This is a great image.
Outstanding image, great composition, and lighting, though agree about the lips...but hey..the pose..the curve on the dress!
