Bold and playful.  I like it!

Thank you Tracy.  Yes, it's fun just to do something different for a change!

The flexibility is admirable, but the image as a whole suffers by comparison to the other photos in this portfolio.

I understand... a little cheesy, I know.  But hey, it's something different and she really liked it, so that's what counts, you know?  :o)

I did not know that, as long as the person in the image likes it, it matters very little what anyone else thinks, I will keep this in mind. 

No critique needed here then.

Wow!  Are you always this combative?  The client put herself into this pose and asked for a shot of it, so yes, it is absolutely the most important thing for me... to please the client!  I don't really give a s*** whether you like it or not!

Glad she likes it. I often remind myself that for most folks the point of a photograph is to capture a memory or to catch somebody looking their best. If somebody likes a photo of themselves, you've usually done one of the above.

I almost wrote two things yesterday: 1) That if this was in black and white with simplified "artsy" surroundings and dramatic lighting it might go over very well; and 2) It almost seems like she needed to lose the panties. It is such an "in-your-face" sort of shot it seems a little timid not to go all the way on this. 

Just two things to think about. Cheers.

Classy of both of you.

Thank you M. Hayward and Niki for your comments.  Yes, you are right, but in this case, she wanted more of the glamour feel.  Actually, she would have gladly peeled her panties and give you the in-the-face shot you wanted!  A vert good and "at ease" model!
