I would appreciate some constructive comments on the layout of this

photo.

- Should it have been cropped tighter?

- Should I have positioned it differently?

Thanks

Very cool and original.

I do think a tighter crop would work here (something like the attached, perhaps). It's always difficult to combine a nude and landscape, because you have such strong competing aesthetics fighting for prominence. At least to these eyes, it's important that the human figure be primary, with the landscape serving to frame her or his body. The railroad tracks do that beautifully here, and for that reason, I'd tighten the framing on this and eliminate some of the distracting sky and vegetation (which would be great in a pure landscape). Beautiful pose by the model, by the way (and beautiful model).

Branden, A nice image with subtle sexual overtones from the V shape in the rails. However I do think there is too much sky. Try doing a crop from the top to about a 3x4 format. It will place the woman more to center of attention and still retain all of the great surrounding detail of the foliage and the rail lines. Let me know if it works for you.
