4 I think what made me score lower on this shot was the fact the model was on a hard wood table. It made me uncomfortable, the lighting is too bright for the mood needed for a massage or hot stones treatment

Think this would have worked better if you had rotated it so the stone were going from the bottom of the body up to the neck. Good photo though.

Hi Ryan, greetings from the Critique Club!

Well, it's hard to say something about this portrait, I gave it a 7 during voting, I was really impressed by the sharpness and the quality of the lighting.

Composition
The only point here is that I would have liked to see more space on top, so we could see the whole person. Other than that, perfect placing, very good facial expressions and family portrait.

Technique / Lighting
Superb technique on the coloured background, it really adds a very professional studio look, and the light is very soft, very even throughout the whole frame (with a tiny bit of light falloff in the corners.

Processing
Maybe the border was a distraction for some voters, we do know that some people will not vote higher if an excessive border is used, and it's very noticeable on this photo.

Still, a 7.57 from commentators and an almost 6 score is very good, independent of the placing.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

Surely underrated! It's difficult to understand DPC voters. That 10 was from me. It is a perfect photograph without any flaws & favorite in my register anyway.
