Johnny,

I think this is an awesome photo, especially in the fashion category.  It certainly looks like the sort of editorial photo that gets printed often.

The composition is strong and the model's physical posing is perfect — the way the legs keep the same angle, the way the arms and head complete a slight but true S-curve, the way the boots are clearly delineated and shown, and even the double-yellow line leading to the model at a balance point in the photo.  The tones are good and reinforce the separation of the model from the background.

I have just two very tiny quibbles: first, I would like to see the bottom of the frame darkened down just a little to force the eye more to the top two-thirds of the image.  Something subtle here would work.

Second, I would have liked if the lens were open one more stop (if that were possible) to get just a smidgen more separation between the model and the background.

My suggestions are just that, however.  As I said, this is an impressive fashion photo.

Regards,

Steven
