Just looked at your portfolio and you are clearly someone who is on top of their game so all of the choices you have made here are deliberate and intended. Fair play to you - they are of course your choices. I don't like the end result any more, but I am pleased that this is the result is aligned with your intentions.

Horribly underrated! Love the awkward pose and coloration, it wouldn't look out of place in a fashion magazine. I would have given it a 9 at least if I voted on this. =)

This one confounds me a little. There is quite a lot of potential in this shoot (I won't say this shot); but it seems like every choice you've made here is the wrong one. It almost make me wonder whether that is deliberate... By doing it so wrong, you communicate your awareness of what 'it' is.

Just in case it isn't deliberate - feedback on the wrongness: the pose, the flat light, the grey coloration, the DOF, the processing (especially the haloing / tone mapped look) - shadow handling makes her look dirty. Each of these on their own would be enough to spoil the image.... But together?

I'll be interested to see the comments of others on this one. I hope I haven't offended but I'm pretty sure that with the right pick from this shoot and different editing choices you'd have a really great shot.

Looks like a belly dancer pose...she needs bangles and chains.

i like the angles and the pose a lot by the very pretty model. i am not sold on the teeth - they seem a bit gray due in part to the processing

I like the lighting and subtle coloring. I'm not sure how I feel about her arms out there. Feels like she is trying to play an air flute.

Kind of looks like she is dancing. I like the color treatment you did on this. I'd like to know how you achieved it.
