Wow!!!! I love the picture. It makes me feel like she is "commanding all of nature with her stance. I am trying to imagine what kind of camera that you used for this shot 10 years ago. Film???

Sorry, I know that you are looking for a critique. It's hard when I couldn't have done that good to begin with.

Two things that stick out to me.
1) There is a white ring around her hair that extends down her right shoulder. It doesn't match the natural colors of the cloud. I thought that it was the sun, however the sun appears to be off to the left of the shot going by the reflection on her left arm. I would love to see the pic with a full stop open more. I know that it would have burned out the clouds a little more, but to see more skin tone in her back would have been a great trade off.

2) Too much gray sky over her head. Would have liked to see her take up more of the top of the shot. For me it's a minor distraction to her perfect body.

That's the best that I can do for critique, because there is no way that I could have taken a picture that good.

Sorry, the photo is nothing more than a naked woman looking over a scenic view. It says nothing to me. Maybe if it were a frontal shot it would be slightly better.

Sorry, even the redo doesn't do it for me.
There should either be a halo or not.
White around the head is a distraction for me.
Agree about the horizontal.
Having her posed with some angulation would help.

Thanks for posting and asking.

Hi Buckwheat,

I like the second image more because its brighter and I can see more of what's in the image. Over all I think the composition is off. When I look at this image I don't really feel anything because I go back and forth from looking at the model and then the background. It doesn't really say anything to me other than the model has a nice body. I would love to see more pics of the model if you have some.

Also I wouldn't get hung up with most of the replies here and most of them are opinions. You should post what you like. I do!

Thanks Rob. I find some of the comments really amusing. Some actually are helpful. It's interesting when I say the photo is over 10 years old, and some one comes in and tells me to re-shoot and do this and that. I'll keep posting, because I seem to have found my "niche" which is different than most all the other people who DO contribute.

i really like the way you lightened the model. I to me seems like 2 photos one of a model and a landscape scene. makes you think...
