Smarter than your average shrimp.

I do like her confidence. Do you?

Feedback appreciated.

Best regards David!

Yes, David, she does display confidence. There is a wonderful attitude in both her pose and expression that you have captured well. The little bit of hair falling over her shoulder is a nice touch. There is also something interesting about the tan line, like she is revealing something to you that is normally hidden, another sign of that confidence.

I'm happy to meet you and your work again, my dear friend!

Pierre, Certainly the model is lovely! I am glad you think the photograph is too.

Mark, The hair on the shoulder was not 'planned' as such. I am glad that you like it. I thought it might bother some... Time will tell.

Maurizio, I am just happy you stop by.

Thanks everyone.

Great shot David!

Well! Maybe the model helps. Thanks!

This is a style of shooting and posing that's very familiar to me.  I love the black and white.  I also like her facial expression...it's not quite a full smile, and it's not quite a confident smirk...bur sort of halfway in between, I think.  I also think you have the separation between her hair and the background just right.  I like just the hint of highlights in her hair.  And what an excellent figure she has...it mirrors the photograph itself...not too much, not too little...just right.

Frankly, this is excellent.  Simple, direct, and to the point...absent props and gimmicks...pure photography.

I appreciate the words, 'simple direct and to the point.' It is not everyone that appreciates such things. That said, there are few models that can 'look' at a camera in a way that can help the photographer 'pull off' such images. This girl most certainly can! Thanks for stopping by!
