Frankly, I very often prefer the fuller frame ..

Really love the composition/setting and the beautiful lines the model has created. If one looks at these sort of things, her right arm looks to be missing. For me it is not a distraction. The only other thing that jumps out is that it seems grainier relative to your other work...on purpose? Lovely.

Thanks D.  In fact, this one is taken with just window light to the left and the camera opened up to near maximum ASA sensitivity which leads to grain. Apparently the newer Nikon models have a much better tolerance.

Hi John !

"Frankly, I very often prefer the fuller frame .." - not in this case IMHO (In My Humble Opinion).

Seen better here !

(good composition, poor PS grain, lady finding the horizontal...)

Hola !

In my HO the sample you uploaded afterward is better, it opens the picture, explains better the positioning of the model and aesthetically contributes to the environment and the whole composition, and even makes the picture look brighter! Cheers John!

P.S. I don't see any grain!

Thank you all. Pierre, I agree basically, it's the point I also tried to make in posting it .. thank you.

Although I also tend to like a looser crop, I think the originally posted image is better here. If this had been more in line with your Behind the Scene series then the context becomes more important.

The lighting compliments the pose and attitude. This is terrific in B&W. Well made, John.

Super beauty!! Excellent model and b&w!!

Cheers.

I prefer the fuller frame John...

Both poses in your last two images John of this beautiful model are excellent and very creative and original....

And -us usually- precise exposure and rich gray tonal range....

PS : Many thanks my friend for your generous comment under my last post.

Hi John, for me the full frame looks better (second shot) it has more contrast and that "grain" gives a special touch. Beautiful John , just great , best and warm regards from Mexico // Salvador 

Hello John, The shot is perfect ( as all your pictures) I prefer the second version, where I can admire the enviroment where has been inserted a perfect body.

For me, The grain is not a problem, I look the concept and the movement, your idea and how you view the image, not the details of the camera.-

wishes my friend, here another your piece of glamour and sensibility to the femmininity

Very beautiful pose, sensual and erotic at the same time. And wich a gorgeous and lovely model, nice, nice, nice... Regards, Frédéric

Great cleverness for a very elegant composition!

I admit it I want to be you when I grow up.Great work John :)

I like the work. and wish i could have the opportunity like this. However , i cannot help thinking, that the lighting is to even . A bit flat. And direction of the view point of the model seem not right . or looking at the camera , making a connection with the viewer. Making a distraction of the depth of thinking and imagination from the on looker.
