fantastic that no matter how dazed a look she has, or how pushed out her chest is- the emphasis is still on the nose.

Chris,

Great lighting. Fantastic lighting. Love the slight catchlight in the eyes (could be a little more pronounced), the lips (perfect there) and the shoulder (gives a sun-kissed kind of look). The setting is wonderful; it provides a nice backdrop that with several elements but you've managed to capture it with some blur to keep it from competing too much with the subject yet the color and texture of the rocks and grass can be appreciated for enhancing the smoothness of the model's skin. They kind of allow you to show her feminine smooth side without resorting to a "plasticky" feel that something like too much NeatImage might give you. Now this is just a nit from my initial view of the shot; keep in mind that I think this is a great photo. I think that in this pose if you'd had the model turn her hips more in profile it would have accentuated her femininity a little better. Say, something like taking the knees around about 4-6 inches to the model's right would have closed her hips more to you but left her upper body at roughly the same angle. This would have helped to accentuate her chest and back curves. As it is the edge on look at the subject's left arm shows that she is a young lady with little body fat content as her arm looks trim. While she doesn't look large at all, there is an illusory discrepancy between how thin her arm looks and how full her chest looks at about bicep level. Added to that (IMO) is the line across her hips such that if her hips were closed just a little more to the camera it would tend to downplay the illusion that her arm is too thin for her body (I think the dark shadow down the her tricep adds to that feeling).
