The branch intruding into the frame is extremely distracting.

For me, I find many aspects jarring. For example, the flaring of the curtains at the sides of the braces at the floor, the tonal weight on the right of photo, among other minor spots. By themselves, not so noticeable. However as a whole of the set, jarring. The branch placement also detracts rather than guides the eye. The shots leave me with wanting to make the several minor "frays" tightened. If this was your intent, you have succeeded.

Overall. the photography is great.

Nice shots and creative scene, as always, VADA looks lovely. I don't seem to be picky I just love to see lovely women. That is just me.

Really like the beautiful frame

Timmers Loc: San Antonio Texas.

The entire set of images is by intention jarring, this is intentional. The foreground to the background reads as it should, like a still life. The fact is that the entire 'set' was constructed before VADA arrived. The entire set up was intended, including the right curtain rod level, to the left rod not level. Sets such as this are constructed and the view of the set up is from the single point perspective of the lens mounted on a studio stand.

Placing the model into the 'frame of reference' is equally not haphazard. It all works by design, including the depth of field running from the akimbo tilting table with dry flowers/sticks that lead into the frame. 'Sharp' from lead edge to rear reflections. Questions about construct are there, such as the rough hued large cross behind the frame and model.

It is all intentional. Even the uneven lighting, such as on the left curtain that reveals the raised pattern of the surface action of the curtain. One might see this texture reveals that texture in contrast to the softness of this type of heavy curtain material, then in contrast to the rough surface of the wood behind the model in comparison with the smooth sensual surface of the gold gilding of the frame.

This works best as a trip tick of image in the manner the model presents three views of posing the body to show the different qualities of the female forum. Then in the third frame the dualistic nature of the hand as a view from front and back, camera view and camera view as reflection by mirror.

It is a complex image, it is intentional, including the sunglasses the model wears. No mistakes, no errors, nothing spontaneous about this 'still life with frame of reference'. This is me amusing myself, what is your take?

By the way Stephan G, thanks for taking the time to share your observations, they are spot on.

How did you darken the legs Timmers?

Timmers Loc: San Antonio Texas.

They are dark because I had VADA put on burgundy stockings, but they were not dark enough to match the curtains so VADA put on a second pair over the first pair. Girls know about these things! LOL!!!

Especially in the first shot due to where the tip of the branch appears.

Thank you for the in put, it was quite intentional, but I know you understand this.

Better lighting but I agree with the comment on the branch … doesn't add anything to the photo … just distracting.
