I would appreciate your comments.

 

Thank you,

I feel distracted from the beauty of the model and great lighting by the busy arms and hands. The lighting is outstanding and the model stunning. it just seems to busy for my taste..just my 2 cents

This is quite a lovely image. As-is, it does seem a little busy, but I think this could be eliminated/improved by cropping a bit off the bottom and left side in order to isolate her face more, and in doing so turn her arms into an aesthetic abstraction. The lighting, exposure, etc are nice. It seems a bit grey on my screen.

Michael, I admire your work greatly. In this shot I believe you have again worked to engage the viewer, as you do in many of your pictures, by employing elements that surprise the viewer. However, unlike many of your other images, the rhythm of this one does not work for me. I am engaged by the awkward hand position, and by the wonderful look of the model, but my eye and mind settle on the hands, not on the model. Is this what you intended?

Too gray, no expression in her look and what does she do with her hands ???

Technically, no problems. I'm just trying to understand the hands only because they are so...there!

Delicate and somewhat awkward pose. It's strange how the catchlights are in different positions on the eyes.
