From a workshop in natural light. I'm interested in hearing if people like

her looking out the window.

Outstanding Mark... a real wall hanger!  Did you do something to the painting behind her, or did it just come out that way?

Well Mark! If you hadn't told me she was looking out of the window, I wouldn't have known. There's a lot going on in this image with many great elements. The gaze is one. However, her leg warmers may just steal it.

i like this shot. i like the bw too

Excellent image - but perhaps a slightly tighter crop and more light on her face?  See above.

Good portrait, lovely face, cute and very sexy model, but to return this erotic image it would have been necessary to strip the model and to keep only the fur on her shins and peg. In my opinion. We do not see enough her attractive feet. Regards, Frédéric.

Thank you all for the terrific comments. A few follow-ups:

Michael - It is an old painting or print that the studio has hanging as a prop. It is of a scene of some kind but to tell you the truth, I never really paid attention:-)

David - I have to agree that had she not had the leg warmers it would't have been as good.

FXT - Thank you for you efforts in trying to "correct" my image. I like the painting and how it frames her face. I considered cropping the standing mirror frame on the left but felt the image needed space there.

Reichert - More of the feet might have been nice, I agree. I think that had she not had on her panties this would have turned into a more sexual photograph. I probably would not have made this if she had been fully nude in the same pose.

Mark - no problem - I love messing around with alternate crops.  I agree with your assessment of the painting/frame. My only real concern was in cropping out the object near her right knee.

Strong and direct this is and I like it very much. It evokes a time gone by. What I find most striking about this image is the models face and I hope you shot some portraits during this shoot also. Cheers, Raymond

I love it...too much! Very sensual and agressive!
