...(jmo) This one is far better than the original. ;-)
Removing the shadowy grain/noise no longer presents any questions on the model. Very nice presentation.

Beautiful image. But I must agree with alonzo. I think if the model was looking down a bit it would make it a little more senuous.

Comment by RedOak:
Interesting angle. I think it would be a little more striking if the model was actually standing instead of on the floor. The skin and hair movement would be different, thus making the image "lighter" or more floawing.

Another great photo. Love the model, pose and lighting. My only nit is her eyes, looking up the way she does kind of freaks me out. I think the photo would have been a bit more senuous if her eyes were either closed or if she had been looking down a bit.

I really like this image. The picture has a somewhat sculpted feel to it which is very interesting. I think the pants and underwear look somewhat like they are painted in, but I go back and forth about whether I like that particular aspect. As I have the most qustion about the underwear it seems to me that the easy fix (if you were inclined to fix which by no means do I suggest I am right on this) it to just take the photo and not have her wear the underwear - leave all other elements the same. That way the glow of the white does not stand out and distract from what I consider a wonderful shot.

On a side note, clearly people are drawn to your images because I was blown away by the number of views you received for this and your other image from Tuesday in a very short period of time. Keep up the great work.

Very good composition with hair at foreground and good half moon face heading down the nose and then to lips. A will placed thumb. The true strenght lies in the well directed lighting which traps the eyes attention to enjoy the sensual tones across the visible area. Very good use of sepia to enhance the image.
