thanks for your comments about

To tighten up and clarify this natural, relaxed- feel composition, blank off all below the heel

of the lady's shoe on the floor. The distracting, non-subject carpet goes, and the model is accentuated. Then half a stop less for more dark in the photo, for balance and drama.

Agree completely with previous post on cropping. Not sure on exposure. On my (calibrated) monitor, this looks fine.

The exposure looks fine to me too, since he's only used natural light from the patio door window.

 

A pity her hair was not pulled back a little. I would have liked to have seen a slight profile of her face instead of a total mass of hair and a tighter shot.

 

Showing the entire empty chair to the right seems unnecessary, since it a very familiar object. Further, that square wall mounted brass object - possibly a switch although seems too low for that - is distracting mainly because it is inline with her head.

 

Crop the bottom roughly a 1/10 and crop about an 1/8 from the right of the frame. That should draw more emphasis toward the girl.

 

Maurizio, what wide angle lens did you use to take this photo and what were your settings?

excellent Maurizio

I invite you to discuss about the definition of a fashion shot in the photo philosophy forum - over here.

 

 

Great light - atmosphaire

Dears, I thank you very much for your comments about, I would like communicate you that there are some way to view that photo.

If you would like to see that photo as an portrait, is correct to modified the crop and the light as you suggest.

Instead I concept that photo as a woman that wait a man in a luxury suite of a Hotel, for this there are a larger framing, a luxury interiors, the precious carpet and a empty chair.

Symbol of a person that no coming. Maybe that right title could be ?the waiting? and not the ?legs?

 

Sr. Melozzi, Mi piace la immagine. Pero non avevo veduto che la giovane aspetta un uomo. Una ragazza che guarda cosi per la finestra di un gran hotel me indica un momento di riflessione, niente di piu. Il gesto della mano portata alla faccia anche poss'essere un poco del anxieta delle ricche vittime della noia. Per me aspetta un futuro pieno di incertezza.

Mr. Maurizio, your photo is ... elegant,

special light and shapness

 

Very glamour

you have a great taste for fashion. another beautiful image. However I wouldn?t do it using a wide angle lens...I think it doesn?t really fit for fashion.

 

Very nice. I love the feel and the athmosphere. Maybe you could have cropped the left wall a bit more or straightened it in photoshop with the transform perspective tool.

 

Great work. I'd love to know what was happening out of that window :-P
