Don't like the soft focus. The toe-cutting isn't that good either.

Subject is out of focus.

nice use of form here...lighting is not the best...throwing down a dark rug instead of using the tiles may have made a big difference

I like the pose, composition and lighting, but for my taste, too much soft focus. Just my two cents.

a bit to blurry imo

I like the pose and the lighting, and the model is gorgeous but I think the background undermines the impact of the image.

It's a small thing, but the lower crop of her big toe leaves it feeling incomplete.

I give it a 7.

The light is good,but I think that a better pose is needed showing off the form more naturally.As it is it looks too contrived.

She sure looks uncomfortable
10/02/2006 07:09:34 PM
this is just too much.. too soft, her position too funky and the cheap/dirty floor not a help..

Very pretty light, interesting pose, just a little too soft for my liking. Would like to see a bit more sharpness in the girl.

She looks extremely uncomfortable. Overly posed...
10/01/2006 06:02:44 PM
A bit too soft for my tastes.
10/01/2006 04:30:01 PM
not sure about the choice of floor gl 7

some tecnical error, crop on the foot,not a great sharpness the lights can be better (more soft the shadows)... the shot can be better. the model is beautiful(I liken't the ring on the finger) I think that will see better works in future. 5

Seem blurry or overly soft. Great model and concept.

I'm sorry but if you had this very hot girl at your disposal for a shoot, and this was the best of the shoot... The lighting here is very poor. Nothing is really in focus. Maybe you were going for a soft focus approach, but it's not working here. Strangely I think this would be about 10 times better rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Then it would be a sexy pose even if it would appear as if she were hovering. Sorry to be harsh, but I could kick you for teasing me with this pretty women and not delivering.

I can't really tell if she's on the floor or not-? Looks a bit awkward but at the same time kind of neat too. I guess my main criticism is the lack of light on her face.

Good shot, maybe a little soft, more cripness would give it some zing and push my score up.

Your model is lovely and her position and expression is nice. I think she needs a bit more golden soft lighting on her face (closer to what she has on her forearm & bicep). IMO the floor takes a lot away from this shot. Maybe a plush red, black, or dark green back would work better.

Very well done.....maybe a tad to dark but not much.
