I think the bacground is fine. Nice composition but the smoke at the bottom of the image is either too little, which distracts or not enough to create a mood.

very nice, one hell of a photograph.

So she entered the room, took out two 38's and then took out a gun.

very well done with excellent exposure!

Well at least they are clean. Actually this type of photo can be interesting but composition can be very differcult to create mystery or mood without a least a few body parts. An interesting photo that I saw a few years ago was of a women's legs from the knee down. She was wearing white ankle sox and panties down around her ankles as well. It was very erotic and mysterious but showed nothing above her knees.

very nice work. I would have darkened the background somewhat to let her "pop" a little more to creat a bit more drama.

Your technique is fine with good focus, lighting etc. With a model of this nature I would suggest a different theme so to speak. Maybe in a gritty downtown street with limited nudity. Not to cover her up but to create a mood while still bringing out her character. Sometimes less is more.

Great images. Like the first best

When any company produces thousands of complex items a few issues will crop up. Unfortunately the Internet magnifies these since those that are happy seldom post and those that are not become trolls!

Capturing a sunrise on Hilton Head is tough. To face east you need to go near Hilton Head Plantation. Also Pickney island under the bridge to the island has great sunrises

Never expect logic when dealing with TSA. I'm a retired federal officer and get pre-check about 20% of the time. When I was active in Law Enforcement before I retired I was going through the security line legally armed and was told by the TSA person that I could take my Glock but had to surrender my nail clipper as it had a sharp file on it. "That's the rules" I was told. Paying for Pre-Check is just another cost center for raising Money for the department.
