very pretty model and pose. The cushions don't bother me but the background does.

The colored pillows jump out at me, and not in a good way. I think keeping things in the brown tones that predominate the upper half of the photo would have provided better framing of the model.
Perhaps you can try recolouring them with software.

That's funny, I never noticed the pillows!

Surprised you didn't object to the tip of the pillow over the nip.

C'mon, now... the nip is there; it is the areola that is partially obscured.
But now that you mention it, the pillow could have been a bit lower or moved sideways a tad.

Well Mackie I first viewed this early this morning on my iPad while still laying in bed and now on my desktop computer and I still have the same initial impression of how nice the colors are and the sharpness of the image.
Ah yes the usual nit-pickers will chime in about this and that being 'distracting'. Well most of the time I have to review and look to see what they are being 'distracted' about.
I view a posted image as it was taken and focus on the subject. I do not care about the other stuff even though the pickers comments generally have validity, it is not me who was there to instruct you how to make it right for their liking.
A beautiful capture indeed sir. Don't be a stranger ya hear.
Bruce.

I think it's a well taken photo with the exception of the chair and wall clock(?). I like the colorful pillows. My eyes dart back and forth between the yellow and green and stop in between the two for a pleasant respite. As for the model, I would clear up her left cheek. She's very attractive and looks very comfortable in the buff. A lovely young woman.

I think if you are going as far as fixing the blemish on her cheek then the spot on her chest should also be removed.
And I would still like to see the pillows recoloured... or take the whole thing to BW.

Hi Mackie, your first image of Ali is great, as I mentioned before. But your second image, well, the pose is perfect, in my opinion, but the lighting isn't the best. The side lighting on her arm and face is good, but the rest of her body needs some soft lighting to tone down the harsh shadow. Other than that, I feel you got is perfectly. One more quickie, I think her breasts are perfection! I hope you will grace us with more from this shoot.

As has been commented regarding the 2nd photo, you need more detail in the shadowed areas. PP might do this for you.

I think that the colors of the pillows are in great contrast to her red lips. It's very good and i wouldn't change it.

I love the model and the pose. There are a few distraction as some pointed out (pillows).
Mine is the brown object growing out of her right elbow.
Good work.
