Highlights on model's chest weren't completely blown when converting

RAW in ACR, but they are as bright as they get, somewhat too bright

I'd say (?) And maybe adding some bounced light from below would help

accentuate model's curves? Your thoughts?

Great composition and processing! Well done.

 

It is interesting that your request for critique is a critique in itself. I would tend to agree with you. Seeing 'faults' (for want of a better word) in your own images is one of the best tools a photographer can have.

I love this shot. Maybe adding a reflector from below will help to add some more detail in the model's face. Congrats.

Maybe a bit bright on the subjects chest, but not at all a deal breaker. Still quite acceptable this way; either diffusing the light a little more or reducing it by 1/2 - maybe even as little as 1/3 - stop might have been just that much better. Only other thing that might teeter on the edge of the minus column would be that I'd like to see the suject's head/face focused a tad more crisply. Still in all, a shot you can be proud of.

Have just re-edited this picture -- see the link just above -- but really at loss which one I prefer (?) so would really appreciate your feedback (!) Please compare the two and let me know your thoughts.

The softness in the original post is a bit surprising yet undeniable, but has little to do with the sharpness of the picture itself: some photo.net's compression algorithm is causing that -- please compare Large and you'll see.

Wonderful lighting or limited use of lighting here. Compositionally stunning and it just makes you want to look at a larger printed version.
