single photos The Fur Coat

The pose is alluring and beautiful. The face and hair are especially well lit. The coat (the titled subject) is invisible, blending completely into the background, so dark it has lost all texture and is simply a black blob! Is that your intention?

A beautiful image Linda!

OMG! Like, a redhead on the first click! :)

I have pretty good separation between the coat and bg on my calibrated monitor. I think you've done a truly excellent job with the light and tone here.

This is superb...evocative of late Italian Renn paintings.  Love the overall darkness of the photo, transected by the glow of her skin through the middle portion of the image and made transcendent by the bright glow of her red hair.  There's just enough tonal variance between the fur coat and the couch to provide another layer of visual complexity to an otherwise simple composition.  I would say huzzah, well done!
