Very nice. Like her expressions.
Can do without the tats (that's t-A-t-s!)

a lot going on there with this model,, well done!
Every time an image of a model with ink is posted there are always a few tattoo naysayers in the responses. To me, it's like saying you don't like architectural photography because you don't like buildings! Putting ink on your body is an art form and it should be evaluated as that. Everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes. However, if you don't like the art form, don't comment and move on. I think that a more valid approach is, did the model's choice of design and placement improve the image or not?

Does that mean that one cannot comment on the architecture of a building shown in the photo... as in you do or do not like the building facade, or style, or colour scheme?
Your comparison to architecture of saying you don't like buildings would be more like saying you don't like nude women.

John, that is the opposite of what I said. But, your examples are exactly right. There is a difference between saying you don't like buildings and saying that you don't like that building or you see improvements in the image that could be made.

I guess my feelings on this issue are that the model is not immune from critique, but the criticism is on the photographer. Some models are very attractive, many are middle of the road in terms of “stunning beauty,” while others might be unattractive or even ugly. But any of those models can still be the core essence of a great photograph if handled appropriately. On tats, I think if the tats distract then the photographer has missed his objective; the tats should be either inconsequential, or an important element of the image.
