I don't expect positive comments all the time. I respect your views as positive learning curve. Let's see a few of yours....

I think it does. First of all, I treasure all of your comments whether positive or negative. The process of learning others. Tammy's expression to me depicts the rough life of a "Call Girl". One who sacrifices herself to stay alive.

I take no offense of comments. Everyone has their own taste.
I think we're all trying to be constructive here so please don't let it get personal.
I get what you are trying to convey in this image, but this photo just isn't doing it for me. It's overly soft which belies the underlying "grit", her "tough" expression looks more like a sneer, her makeup and dress are a bit understated for that of a "working girl", and the cut off arm seems like a selfie. I know you really like this photo, and that's fine--it's your photo. But I think by re-shooting and keeping other posters' comments in mind, you could really get something fine.
You did one in July that I think was called Seductive Bride, wherein some soft focus was employed, but parts of the photo were sharp. It allowed separation of the background from the subject. You can use color, exposure or focus to give your shot a feeling of depth. Reviewing your work I see you like to experiment. I'd like to see what you can do with this set up to draw more attention to your subject.
