Pleasing sculpture, in surroundings that frame, and her arms also frame. I tell people that photographing nudes is difficult because of the posing and angles. Good work buckwheat

A nice second pose. For your third turn the model 1/3 away from the camera, so she isn't square on- you'll show more body contours. Then have a rear view, with her looking over her shoulder, maybe playing with a scarf or hat in her hands?

Thank you, but the credit goes to the model. I saw the location, and she went to it and started moving about and I just tripped the shutter. I guess I get SOME credit for remembering to fire the shutter, instead of just standing there staring.

Great pose and well composed. Try same shot just before sunset when sun is not so bright and high in the sky. Or deeper in the woods where light is more diffused and shade prevails. Your colors will pop and the less bright lighting will create a more dramatic effect. Keep shooting and thanks for sharing

I shoot when I can. But your point is well taken and it would have been wonderful, but waiting around in the woods with a gorgeous naked woman might have been too stressful for this 70 year-old man

A custom white balance and 1/2 stop or so more exposure would have made the shot even purtier.

I know she is framed by the foliage but I try to stay away from having the model in the center ... (rule of thirds) I think turning her body slightly or have her stand with legs apart in a defiant stance or leaning a bit back to catch the rays. She is obviously very pretty but I find the pose a bit awkward ... I agree on the slight exposure increase

Yes but WHAT A WAY TO GO!!!
This is all part of the learning curve.... get a pace-maker!!
Seriously, The problem with shade is that the pic now has no contrast( and no catchlight) and it can't be created. What I do in a situation like this is take along a 5in1 and place it off to the side and bounce my flash off of it.
Also the sandals just don't fit in. should have removed them.
I also find the background a little to detailed and distracting, maybe a shallower DoF would be better or a more interesting background.
Yes, it's a bit of planning, but you've got a beautiful woman all the way into the woods, she deserves that the same shot could be made as good as possible and I'm sure she would be very willing to work for it as well! it was 90% there, the other 10% would have been easy.
Still, a very nice capture of a lovely woman!

hey buckwheat. I cant think of a better way to exit this world than to be in a photoshoot with a beautiful naked woman. I like the pose but what I find awkward is it looks like a leg is missing

Taking the risk of being a meanie:
- The color is off ... girl is greenish;
- The exposure is off ... girl is too dark;
- Crop is off ... too much above her;
- Lighting is way off ... uncontrolled, green, and hot spots
Some is correctable in post. Some isn't.
There was probably better conditions nearby. And reflector(s) and/or fill flash might have helped.

It works well, but her leg disappears behind the other one, prompting me to agree with the comment suggesting the model not face full on.
also, some of the highlights behind her might be brought down, but overall a nice shot

Buckwheat, I like the pose of the model and her placement in the scene. They blend well together. The one suggestion i would make is to use a touch of fill flash to get more light on the model. It would not have to be too much or she would be too bright. Black and white could be another way to go.
