Since everyone liked Kamila, I figured I add another image.
Another Kamila
I would like to see some light on the front of the subject.

Conversely, I think the light (and the shot) are rather good.
Shaped like a turkey ready for the oven. The Starving Artist would tie the wings and drumsticks. ;)
I also find the lighting to be very good. The softening shadows complement Kamila's apparent comfort with herself which is important as it appears she has scar tissue on her right knee and forearms. If that's true Kamila must have a wonderful spirit. Very nice work indeed.
Nice. Great pose and lighting. All in all, very pleasing and tasteful photo.

Nice pose, I like the lighting but something bothers me about this photo, yes stupid , I know, but its her toe. Just doesn't look quite right.
like I said, stupid but its just how I see it. Hey still better than I can do.

She has her other toes curled in a bit, making her great toe look out of proportion.

Re: comments on her scars and toes, I draw a comparison between a photograph and an audio recording as "permanent records" that demand as much perfection as possible lest the flaws become the proverbial "pea under the mattress." Moles, scars, hair out of place, flowers growing out of the head, awkward shadows, unnatural poses, etc, are all forgivable in real time, but are "forever" once recorded. Audio case in point, I have an LP of Christmas music that I really like, but it has a small scratch that crosses three grooves (yeah, I know it's only one long spiral groove, but you get my drift). Every time I play that record I wait for the annoying "click... CLICK... tick." Can you imagine buying a CD in which there is a wrong note that grates on you every time you listen to it? So it is with the photos, and it takes a particularly good eye to see and minimize all of the imperfections prior to clicking the shutter. I salute those photographers who do this so well so often.
Robeng, your variety of styles amaze me. The darker lighting with her in a meditation pose works very well.
