I'm not sure why this photo didn't get much attention. I absolutely love it. Who knows??? :)

Beautiful woman. The bright area left side of image is distracting.

... the white area to the left is distracting. But another winner even then.

I'm critiquing your print in the Photo Critique Requests rotation, so I don't know anything about it other than your name, and its title. I don't know what comments anyone else has offered.

 

My gut reaction to this picture is that it's another shot by Jeff Curry, not so much by the style, as by the copyright notices. Still, the style of this shot is in keeping with that of the one you called "glamor shot" The lighting is similar, and still appropriate. Her face is the center of attention, even though the image has a lot of lighter values. It might be my monitor, or the scan, but I don't see any detail in her bra, or swim suit top, whatever it is. Women pick those things out very carefully, and it would be nice to see the what's there. Her body and face appear wider than they might be in real life. Even though I thought the lighting here was appropriate, perhaps a little direction would have thinned her out, some. Her expression is good, more relaxed than the other girl. Nice makeup, beautiful eyes, etc. I still think your copyright notice is larger than it needs to be, but I fully understand your thought behind it and don't fault you for it. Her hair is sort of scraggly, but maybe that's the style. I like the other one better. It's not a creative image in that it's pretty straight on to the camera, etc, and the success of the image rests in technical mastery of lighting, and subject control, and in the model's beauty. That's what I think.

this one wants a more generous crop. you get some interesting things going in the shadows beneath her arms and between her breasts--ringflash, right? pretty girl!
