Yup, I am glad Skip mentioned the colours as I couldn't quite put my finger on what wasn't working other than the dark legs. It is the cold blue and the hot red bra that is conflicting so yes, I agree that some leggings or trousers in another colour might well work a lot better.

The lighting from the waist up is excellent, really works beautifully. The pose is pretty strong too, maybe just a TAD too much right shoulder but that is entirely down to taste so others might be perfectly happy with that. i'd have her pull it back a very small amount but without losing the 'sassy' look that works beautifully with this girl's look, hair and general pose.

Great work, only thing that spoils it for me is the overly large inclusion of your name and copyright which is very distracting. Not saying don't use copyright, I understand why some want to even though at 72 dpi and at this size this shot would be pretty much useless to anyone as it could only really be printed out at a couple of inches high. It's only that the position of it, right next to her face, makes it harder to get a natural feel for the picture as a whole.

Cheers,
Rob
