Zack,

She is a beautiful girl. You have focused very well on her eyes. She has very nice catch lights. Her skin tone is wonderful. The background is nicely out of focus and she is well separated from it. The backlight highlights her hair and helps to separate her from the background. I really like the way she is looking off to the side and her expression. You have posed her hand very well.

The composition is excellent, but I would give her just a little more room on top. She seems a bit crowded. I like that your have included where her forearm connects to her upper arm, but it wouldn't look bad if you cropped just above where your placed your ad, either. It would tighten up your composition.

There are parts of her shirt that are overexposed with no detail in them.

Her lips look just a little dry to me.

I wish you would have posed her body at an angle to the camera. It would have looked thinner, more feminine, graceful and elegant.

There is a lot of skin area showing on her chest. It looks a bit odd without some breast delineation.

The brightness of the foliage just to the right of her shoulder bothers me a bit. It draws my attention away from her face.

Your advertisement is not part of the photograph. Your name could be properly placed on the mat. Any advertising would be better placed on the back of your photograph.

Nice shot,

Mark
