Freedom Model: Avelyn Fia

I've been looking through all of your posted work so far and I love it all.  I'm sure it might be a little crass for a lot of people's taste, but it's new(at least to me), different, well done, edgy, and provokes emotion.  Anyway, I've enjoyed the view and hope you keep posting.  Just expect low rates in general.....doesn't mean your pictures don't rock.  This particular image could benefit from a little more room under her elbow.  If it's too late to add, you could also crop off the top to match the same amount of space(which is very little) between the hand on top and the elbow on bottom....after scrolling down to see how it would look, maybe that would be the best way to go anyway, not to mention the simplest.....

Thanks Scott, I appreciate your comments, and yes you are quite right, it is very  rare, if any of my work on here is rated above a 4 or 4.5, strangely enough I have been experimenting with images I have been posting on here, just to see how many views or ratings they receive, it equates to, if my image shows nipples, arses, genitalia or any other form of female skin, regardless of technique, composure, or photographic skill, my views jump from the average couple of hundred to an incredible double figure thousands. Also the most critiques and views or just basic comments, seem to be from either people who have no images on P.N or photographers that take what I would call general photographs, flowers, pets and such, although I welcome all, and any critiques, I would prefer critiques, that try and tell me what I am trying to imply in my image to mean, to come from photographers that actually shoot a similar genre to me.   

Now as for this image, I agree the close crop at the bottom of the image is tight, possibly too tight, but I didn't like how her elbow was sitting on the chair arm, never mind, we had a lot of fun shooting this set, and for me that is one of the reasons why I shoot images like these, it makes a change from my social and domestic work, and for those of you who like my work, I am pleased it puts a smile on your faces too.

I am fortunate enough to have friends on here, who will rate and critique my images on their merit, and not just on, he gave me a 6, so I better give him a 6 back, and I am sure we all know who these people are, and if that's what they need to keep them happy, all well and good, I don't need the accolades like that, my commissions for my work, tell me I am doing work that some people like and want, and please anyone who reads this, I am not trying to annoy them, but I have known of new photographers that have posted their work on here, to be basically shot down with sometimes cruel and unfounded critiques even about their models they have used, which has stopped them posting and have even left PN because of this. Surely this is not what photography or PN is about.

Thank you.

Giovanni.
