Like your shot....Just a suggestion to SELL her......crop maybe just below the red belt and just above her head. This would concentrate more on her as a model. Just a suggestion.

I wasn't really looking for a port shot, but will take your suggestion.

Most likely not your fault, but sleeveless tops are the curse of this type of image. That shoulder/upper arm is HUGE and it is brighter than her face. It is seldom if ever a good idea to shoot directly into a bare shoulder.

Her face lacks fill from flash or reflector so the eyes have no life to them at all and her face is the darkest thing in the image.

I guess I understand the pose but as a general rule, it is not a good idea to have finger pointed directly at the camera.

She has a pretty cute expression on her face, I love her hair, but that is not a flattering position for her arm.

Phillip,

I agree with CaptainC. He has helped me some months ago and his advice and knowledge is something to behold. The first thing I noticed was the darkness of her face and the brightness of the palm of her hand. Also, as mentioned before, her shoulder does seem to take up a lot of the 'space' in the photo. The idea and/or concept is fine, but it just needs refined a bit. :)

I do like the sunshine highlighting her hair on top of her head. I question if the fly away hair is from a breeze and a wanted feature - personal choice and what you were going for in the image. As I have been told many times, practice, practice, practice and try to get all your ducks in a row before snapping that shutter release on your camera. :) A very nice concept for the photo.

Tom
