This is my first attempt, and I am looking for an honest critique. I won't be offended (as long as it's not personal) and would much rather learn and improve than feel good. The missing toes . . . this was impromptu. She grabbed the hat on a break and started dancing. I didn't have time to frame the shot, etc.

She has great potential with that "wicked smile" but if you didn't have time to compose, change lightening, etc then not much to critique on a snapshot.

I like the no ink also. Ink just does not add to a beautiful womans body or face

better than most pics we see on this site. Model with a smile.

She will look much better if she were brighter overall. Just be careful to keep the added light off the already bright parts of the breasts and the hip which are fine.

But not implant-free. 😫

Al Vocinq!
Nice image! I know this is an impromptu shot but it needs more space on the left which could be easily "cut and pasted" in. And her hair is a little messy but could be fixed with time.
At first with PS Elements using the "Shadows and Hightlights" tool under "Enhance" and "Adjust Lighting." If the image is lightened overall with software, the cast shadow on the right is more prominent and adds a bit to the composition. See the first screen capture.
I then took the liberty to lighten the model overall by again using 10-year old Nikon Capture NX2 with "Nik U Control Points." With this software, one can edit local areas such as face, tummy and legs/feet and not need masks to do so as in PS. See the second screen capture.
Be well! Ed

She might be ink free but she sure isn't implant free. But she is a beauty.

Wow! I wish my early photos had come out that well. I love your model and her playful pose (sans toes), and the shadow which is not easily created and keep the overall exposure good, which you did. I tend to shoot darker images, but agree that this is a bit underexposed, especially her face. Playful or happy moods looks better when shot brighter; save the low exposures for somber or serious moods. That said, I think the light is a bit too harsh for my taste (see how sharp the shadow is in her far leg); did you use bare bulb or have a modifier? Having a catch in her eye is important for connecting with the viewer--especially when the model is looking directly into the camera (viewer). She has a wee one, but you might try a little dodging in PS to bring this out a bit more. Really picky: I'd remove that red spot on her hip.
Overall well done, you two!

By the way I think it is a very good photo. It brings out her playfulness.

That's the first thing I saw. Small breasts are awesome in their own right.

The shadow could almost be a picture in it's own right.
Well done you for a quick 'grab shot'.

She has all the potential you need, now figure out the lighting. It is all about the lighting.
Keep at it.
