nudes Althea. Lady in black

I really like this Francois. The muted colors work very well here. She has great eye contact with the camera and a very relaxed, natural pose.

If I may make a few suggestions. I think a vertical rather than square crop would suit this image better. It would eliminated some of the extra negative space to her left. Also, there is a shadow directly to the right of her, which is easily blended away with PS's healing tool, to give a more seamless lighting.

Great lighting and beautiful composition. Love the eye contact of the model with the camera. Congrats.

Scott is maybe right!

Perfect the way it is.  Some people find it hard to look at a picture on it's own terms and see what it has to say.  Instead they decide what it should be saying and then try to change it.

Great pose, expression and tonal composition. I think both crops work well .

Thanks to all and to Keith. I think I like his version better as to the removal of the shadow. But I will keep my negative space. I think negative space tells a lot ;) Only a matter of eprception, no one can be right or wrong here ;)
