Genteel Touch

I need your opinion critique and advice !

I think it's a really nice idea. My comment is not about the technique - but about the model. The softness of the subject matter calls for different fingernails.

Think much shorter, well-groomed, rounded nails. Buffed to a sheen, without lacquer. Set-off by a good manicure.

They should compliment the natural beauty of the flower much better, and perhaps better reflect the title of the shot.

I know - girly feedback. But what can I do?

I totally agree with Kathleen. The nails have got to go. The background is confusing as well...it looks like you've painted on a dress or something and her boobs are hanging out. I would definitely try this again though. I liked it when I saw the thumbnail, just not when I took a closer look.

i like this one better then hidden beauty

I was just about to say the same thing about the nails as the first person, the ones here do not suit an otherwise very pleasing image.

I like this one . More apealing light on the flower with some deeper shadows around creats good composition . Well DONE. Reagrds PK.

beautiful idea!

Tender!
