Now this tickles my fancy... Sorry Barry but I just can't help myself at times. Quite lovely my friend and well made too.

I love the openness of the nudity with the mystery of her partially covered face. I've had models to that in the past and also liked the result. The lighting helps in this effort and shows her natural curves beautifully.

Thanks for the comment. I've seen poses like this occasionally here on PN, and have really liked them, so I worked with it here.

Yes I agree with Mark - it's an intriguing pose.  To nit-pick: the tangential light on her forehead creates a rather harsh texture which could be (partially) smoothed. I think I would also darken the lower right and lighten the upper left with a diagonal gradient mask (& maybe crop at the top of the tattoo) - sorry, I just can't help imagining how I would print pics I  like.

Actually, I like the tattoo; the problem to my mind is that I've got it touching the edge of the frame. There was an even harsher texture on her face before I retouched it; perhaps I could have gone even further. Interesting idea about the gradient; I hadn't thought of it. 

One problem I did encounter was that she had distinct stubble in her underarm area. I've sort of mushed it up in PS, but I'm wondering if you have some favorite technique to deal with that.

re stubble: apart from blurring selectively as you have done a useful trick is to increase the colour saturation of the area as well to bring back the skin tone. The alternative is to clone across some adjacent skin.
