Bed Head

Meant to comment on this a while back when I added it to my favourites. Great shot, both this and the out take.

Overall I prefer this one of the two, mostly due to the lighting. I do like the other for the fact it shows a little of your face though. However, I disagree with your comment on this shot about the hidden face being a potential problem though, as to me it looks very natural as that is the way your head would point were you looking out of the window, so all very natural. The hidden face to me is only an issue if it looks deliberately and unaturally hidden.

Lovely shots, and it certainly paid off being brave :) Hopefully you'll pluck up the courage to do some more in the future as I love both os these.

Perfect lighting and truly stunning model. Very sensually done, but so that the emphasis is, correctly, still on the jewelry. The colour in the gems has also come out well. 10

Ocasionally I wish I could vote above a 10. Sensational, a Grigrigirl quality shot. Beautiful model and one of the most sensual (he says to avoid using the word sexy) shots I have seen here in ages of an absolutely stunning model. The lighting is also flawless!

Classic, almost like an oil painting. Perfect lighting of an exquisite model. 10

Simply stunning. This has to be a ribbon I think. Reminds me (as does another in this challenge) of a very famous National Geographic photo of the Afgan woman.

Those eyes are absolutely hypnotic. Great lighting and just love this photo in general. Reminds me (as does another in this challenge) of a very famous National Geographic photo of the Afgan woman.

Love the lighting here, and the very unusual crop and use of dead space works very wekk indeed. Great stuff. Are your lovely model's eyes actually that blue, they are beautiful.

Absolutely exceptional. Lighting is supberb and the timing perfect, as it would have to be. If you don't have an explanation of what equipment you used for the timing here on the photo description could you do me a favour and send me the details, with a web link if appropriate, as I am after some way of doing similar shots myself. 10+
