This a great image.The pose is wonderful. The body positioning, the hand placement is wonderful. The lighting is soft & sensual. You can see the catch light in her eyes. The model is breathtakingly beautiful. If there was one thing I would have changed that would be the wrist on right hand of this model. Thank you for sharing this image. I pray you keep up this work using this model to capture many more images. If there is one question I might ask is how did you get started in this art form? I wish you well

Thank you!

Two things really stand out to me: your lighting is exceptional, and your post on the skin is top notch. Superlative image!

Thank you!

Yes, it works for me! The model, make-up, styling, retouching, composition, lighting, etc. Everything is top level.

Fantastic work!

Thank you!

Amazing DnB.

Thank you!

I'm not sure how anyone can say the d and b is "amazing" from such a small image?

I'm sorry, to me this looks completely unnatural - like someone copied a 70s Playboy shot using a low end 3D art package. The face is artificial enough, but if you hold your hand over it and the hands and just look at the body, no one would believe this was a real person. And it will look worse printed out at 10x8.

David, this is a low res image that was posted here. For printing, there is another higher resolution version. Here face could seem to you artificial because of the make-up, as it was made for a beauty shooting.
Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

The face isn't the problem. As I said, look at the body. Worst of all look at her right arm and hand - the tonal information has been so crudely hammered that her hand is no long anatomically possible. The back of the hand is flat with a rim, like a doll's hand that has been smeared on a hot plate. The side of the hand merges with the arm in an impossible way. The palm is almost worse...

And the highlights on the body are ones that are impossible for human skin - the combination of mattness and intensity is more like matt PVC - a characteristic of a mis-handled frequency separation retouch.

stunning work!
