Jeanette from Model Mayhem. Finally found a model that would show up.

Level, Desat, resize. Pretty much basic editing.

I guess my two-cents for this image does not echo the sentiments of some of the others, I personally like it. The crop is good IMHO because it gives you a sense of the surroundings, a tighter crop would have added a restrictive feel.

the model is stiff, concentrating on maintaining her pose. this detracts from the photo.

Commenting for the critique thread

Had this been in a challenge, I would probably be scoring it around 6-7 (providing it met the challenge!)

I would echo much of what has been said.... I think you could stand to lose the entire top third of the image (maybe a square crop) as that seems like wasted space. Her right hand has blown out highlights, and she has something sticking out of her ass - Both of which serve to detract from an otherwise nice pose.

I agree squatting can be unflattering, but I think you get away with it here. I personally don't mind the hard lighting.

On the whole, a good shot, just not a great shot.

As an aside - from a "Fashion Police" viewpoint, those boots are shocking!

Not bad. The light is a bit hard and it is causing some deep shadows at her eyes. I like the framing and comp though. The pose is ok but I have never personally been a fan of women squatting for a shot, I don't find it nearly as flattering as I would prefer. I would either bring in some more light to help with the shadows either by off camera lighting or reflector or mover her to some open shade.

I will be honest, I find the crop completely wrong on this. The top half of the image seems wasted to me, as if you haven't done any cropping at all. Maybe you wanted the branches above her to 'frame' the scene, but they are too far away to help you IMO.

She's a very pretty lady and you captured her nicely, but there are blown out section on her hand that are a bit unfortunate.

I think this is a beautiful photo. I love the softness and the way the trees mimick her hair. The top part of her right hand might be a bit blown, but it works and that's the only nit pick I could even come up with. OOO wait... I thought she had something in her back pocket but it's a tree sign or something.. I'd clone that out.. then it's perfect!
