For me, is a great picture. Nothing to critique on it :)

Thank you very much :-)

Very good picture of a lovely model. If I had to critique sooomeething, it might be that the model could have pulled her left shoulder back slightly to create a more natural line and not appear as bunched upped. Yeah, that's it. Pretty small. Like I said, very good picture and I would have been proud to have taken it.

Yes i see what you mean :-) thank you very much Stephen :-)

Great shot! A critique would be to follow where your eye goes in this image. The belly seems to be drawing my eye down there. If you take the edge of your hand and move it up from the bottom, your eye starts to focus on her face, the most important part of the image. Maybe burn the bottom a little or crop up to just below her elbow. Also, crop down into her hair a little. It's an intimate portrait and I think these two things might make it more so. Beautiful lighting! I love the highlights in the hair!

Would really hate having to crop at her elbows, but i agree, her stomach could have been burned a bit, to draw less attention :-)

Yes, i like it very much! The composition is perfect, like the model and her pose. The background is absolutely clean and the light is perfect (how many lights in the setup?). I love the sharpness and details in her eyes. I don't have any comment but, as we're in a forum and it's useful to give some advice anyway, I can say that there is a little light fall in the lower part of the (excellent) picture.

thx :-)
I used a 55 inch octabox strait infront of the model (camera left) and turned down in power.

Hope you don't mind coming from an amateur,... Only one point,.. Speaking of "leading the eye",.. My only concern is the hairflow,... Not very natural in regards to the top of the head... Almost,.. Like a "duck bill"...... Other than that,.. Beautiful skin tones and lighting....

a duck bill?? not sure what that is :p
I love her hair in this one, there is a ton of volume in it :-) I do appreciate your comment, thanks :-)
