My first try with a different style. I want it to be blurred and

harder contrast. What do you think? Have I succeeded?

why looking up? Photo should give a clue. Or it should have some sort of internal rhythm.

Poor lighting and low contrast, also focasing depth of field is to shalow.

Doesn't anyone read the text that the photographer wrote below the image?

 

I want it to be dark and out of focus. I don't want to make just another image that several others have taken already. What's the fun of that?

 

Anyway I appreciate your comments since it's you - the audience which I'm asking for critique.

you reached what you were trying to do. My thought is you should have more contrast between your subject and your background to make the subject stand out more. I love the angle of the pose it makes me ask wyo and i follow her profile.

I like this. Great sensation of sensuality and very subtle.

nice feeling. would like it more if the focus were on the face.

I find the dark shadow in the ear in this image to be distracting, espcially with the highlight on the top of the ear.

 

Possibly keeping the low-key look, but with an additional softbox/fill nearer the camera, 2 or 3 stops lighter than the main light?

 

The pose and point of view are different and initially eye-catching, but once you view the image full size there is no interest, for me it 'falls flat' a bit. Possibly because the models hair is hard up against the edges, I can't quite place it.
