Do you think i could bite ... ?

I'm bitten.. um smitten!

I love the light around the top of her silhoutte and how the limited dof, which disconnects her form the background. I'm no expert, but maybe she could hold her right arm at a somewhat different angle so that it is not in direct line with her tummy? And place her a little off center to the right for a more pleasing effect. But overall I really like it. Nice shot!

All the best, Claudia

Fabrizio,

She is a pretty girl with a wonderful shape. You have focused well on her eyes. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer) and a nice, rather come-hither, expression. The contrast and her skin tone is excellent. I love the backlight that provides the beautiful halo highlights in her hair and the very nice rim lighting on her arms and chest. These really helps to separate her from the nicely out of focus and neutral background. Her make-up looks very good, as do the specular highlights on her lips.

You have used the camera's flash well to fill in the shadows and provide excellent skin tone. It would be nice to use an off camera flash for fill. This would allow you to position it in such a way that she would have more shadows on her body. Shadows add interest and help to create more of an illusion of depth within your photograph. You could also move her catchlights so they were not in the middle of her pupils. It would look better to have them in the upper part of her irises.

You have posed her very well. There is just enough of her right breast showing to help show off her femininity. Having her hand up to her chin increases the base to her head by widening her neck area. Having her turned 90 degrees to the camera can cause problems. This can make the head look unsupported. Generally, it looks best to angle your subject somewhere around 45 degrees to the camera. I think having her hand up helps to alleviate any problem you may have encountered. I like the pose of her right arm, but I would have her turn her right hand. Avoid having the back (or palm) of the hand towards the camera. The edge (side) of the hand towards the camera is thinning, feminine and graceful. Cascading the fingers rather than side by side is preferred. You don't want to have her bend her fingers down so that half of them are not showing. This is similar to cropping at a joint. It can make your subject appear to be an amputee.

I really like her flirty little skirt, but the pattern is a little distracting and blends in with the circles of confusion in the background. The pattern on her skirt mimics the background so well that the skirt almost disappears. 

It might look better to use a slightly higher camera angel. You don't want to be looking up at your subject.

The left and right compositional balance is quite good, but she could use a little more headroom.

Your name and the date on the photograph draws attention away from the subject. It would be appropriate to place them on a mat surrounding the photograph.

Nice shot,

Mark

Yes!

Forse si boccone, e ti mangio viva se tu mi boccone! Cerchiamo di essere seri, sieta su un bel quadro, ben retro illuminata, ben vestita, di fantasia e bella come sempre!

Ciao caro maestro, sto parlando con il tuo modello! Bella conversazione!

Enjoyed the image, as well as Mark's most accurate dissection with critical suggestions. Likewise, find that the left forearm is the most problematic area. Do see the problem with a change of angle, as it is difficult to showcase the buttocks, as you have attempted, and also capitalize on say elongating the neck from a higher vintage. Ultimately, do heed T.S. Eliot and 'weave, weave the sunlight in [her] hair.' (The right side does appear a bit flat, while the halo on the left is spectacular). The loose black lacquered belt on the dark background is also less than optimal. A very good try.

Outstanding! B/R Sadegh
