I like the use of the location and her pose and expression. The lighting is also quite effective. Although the wind blown look would show the dress well is is a bit too strong in this image. 

Mark - 

Thanks for taking the time to critique, and your insights are appreciated.

You are right - this doesn't show the dress well, and now that I think about it, it's not why I like the image. I like the image because I like the way the model looks. 

But considering this was supposed to be a fashion shoot, I shouldn't be choosing the images based primarily on how the model looks.

Maybe this explains why the wardrobe designer and I picked really disjoint sets of images for the final edits :)

Learning something new everyday - thanks again.

Michael, I like the sense of the wind almost blowing her over as revealed by her costume clinging,  My only suggestion for improvement would be to not crop quite so tightly top and bottom.

Regards,

Jerry
