now this i like......... she looks relaxed and almost thoughtful. the expression makes u wonder what is going thru her mind... the only thing i dont like is her arms. or lack thereof....... the left one doesnt bother me as much as the right which looks like it has been cut off ( i know it is behind her back... honest) .lol

one of your best tho especially given the difficult lighting conditions!

well done

Hiya David

Good to see you (or at least your picture)!

Wonderful compostion except for the lost right arm. I would really like to see what she is leaning on, plus the angle of her elbow would add another element of interest.

However, I really like the angle of her body in the frame. And yes, Daneille does look relaxed and comfortable, in spite of the fact that she is a bit chilly. Do did a great job of photoshopping the goosebumps

I like the side lighting. The bright sun is always a problem. I have to remind the model all the time not to squint or frown.

Good job

I'm with Skip but am going to be a bit stronger on the right arm problem: I think it spoils the picture. The rest is lovely but she's a bit like the Venus de Milo with that unfortunate arm cropped off. Did you crop this or have you got others that are 'complete'? I bet you have and so I bet you have better ones to show.

On the positive side, she is a pretty girl and the angle of her body is dynamic. The lighting is good and her face has lovely even tones. Lighting is usually one of your strongest points anyway so no surprise there but all in all I would say that aside from the right arm, the rest of this is a lovely picture.

Cheers,
Rob
