Jessi Classic

fabulous all around

I like this a lot.  Lovely model and location, interesting texture, lighting and exposure are spot on.  The composition however doesn't grab me.  I would like to see this with the camera angled up and to the right a little and still shot from the same low perspective.   This would place your subject squarely in the rule of thirds and grab your viewer with your subject.  I understand the interesting grain of the wood, but I think the extensive, perfectly focused foreground detracts from your beautiful subject, who is a little less focused, and the background is even more textured and interesting than the foreground wood.  The DOF is near perfect blurring the background just enough but not so much that you lose the grain and texture of the wood, but it also puts the foreground squarely into focus.

I hope all of that makes sense.  A little kick would take this from a 5 or 6 to a 7+.  

Very nice!
