Feedback appreciated.

This my dear friend is wonderful. Enough said.

-Cheers

Great lighting David, and I love the feel of it!

love the lighting & color tone...

Beautiful work with very nice lighting, David!

Astonishingly, breathtakingly beautiful! The lighting, the model's pose, the model's beauty, the setting... everything. Congratulations!

Very nice lighting! Beautiful! Best regards, Ilkka

Thanks a lot everyone.

Owen, I am very pleased with this one myself. The conditions were difficult to work with but I did manage to get a few acceptable shots.

Michael / Iwan, My reply to Owen applies to you both.

Ruud, The model is the beauty.

Mauro, Your words are very kind. I am not sure I deserve them. However, I am sure the model does.

Ilkka, I am glad you like this.

Thanks again everyone.

She is an absolute stunner, isn't she?  Love her hair, and the dress is perfect for this type of shot.  And I just now noticed the piercing.

The composition and tonality are great, especially considering the lighting conditions you had to deal with...and I'll rank this as one of your best.  It simply blows me away.  I'll also compliment you on doing more location work.

What I wouldn't give to photograph this lovely young lady.

What else can I say, except that it's outstanding work by both of you.  Let's not have any doubt here...I rated this one a 7. 

This kind of photo I call " looking at keyhole" Fantastic!!!!

Jim, Your comment is very much appreciated. The model has this link and is sure to read it She is very easy to shoot and not just because of her beauty. She is a delight to communicate with and I do believe photography is a form of communication. She has lined up a few more photoshoots with other photographers and I am sure if she had the chance to be shot by yourself, she would jump at it. I am very happy you like this. Thanks a lot.

Paulo, I understand what you mean. Let me tell you it was a very large keyhole. Thanks.

Touching nude!

Thanks!

stunning bw.... very good nude

I am glad you like this. Thanks.

One of the things that attracts me to certain photographers, and certain photographs, is that they have something unusual that captures my attention. Yes, the setting is involved here but it is more then that. The lovely white dress against this setting and with her hearing those boots is just such a touch. In addition this is razor sharp, well lighted and composed. She exhibits amazing feeling which she successfully projects to the viewer. This is also one of those images where the slight nudity is completely secondary. All-in-all, an exceptional piece of art, David.

Kind words. The model is the star here. I can assure you, she's an absolute delight to work with. I do like photographing people who are easy to work with.

I maybe shouldn't say this but I like this one myself. Thanks for your informed comment.

Bella foto,bel progetto,complimenti ! ciao Paul

Grazie mille. I tuoi commenti sono sempre apprezzati. (I think!)

Well this is certainly lovely David and it would seem she has the correct shoes on for mucking about in this rubble. Great light and skin tones my friend. I like it!

I am glad you like this. It is a personal favourite.

Very dramatic. I particularly like how the lighting  and composition enhance the narrative. I would not have expected soft lighting to work here, but it works  very well.  The pose is perfect. Kudos to you both!
