Relax

Ideas anyone?

Spotlight on her face so it draws attention. Neck further back to show just a little more face (with spotlight!). Maybe (I'm really not sure -- experiment!) head turned slightly to one side while maintaining eye contact?

I'm less sure on what to do with the arms / shoulders. Need to do something, though. Maybe a tighter crop, or maybe twisting the upper body (and thereby the head, as above) so that weight is mostly on one side to give some tension to the image?

Ditch the scarf and show us her hair, or -- maybe!? -- use it to cover soem of her face for that mysterious look?

You've titled this "relax", yet she doesn't look relaxed...

Try burning the left elbow a bit to eliminate the highlight, it draws the eye away from the face. Also she seems to be twisting her torso slightly which gives the impression that her left breast is larger than her right. It looks odd to me...

the pic says anything but relax. it forces the viewer to contort in order to view her face. the tension is increased by the breast incongruity and the dimension of the photo. i like it a lot- it just doesn't say "relax."
