Kayla

Would like to hear any C&C you would care to offer. Thanks for your time

and Happy Shooting!

I like the noise

I like the pose and tone

It's quiet, well composed and tasteful  I hope other figure photographers are taking notes from your excellent approach.

This is not a pose I see often but it turns out I just uploaded a photograph with a model placing her hands like this. I too like the tone and the lighting. Kayla's gaze, up and out of the frame, adds a wonderful sense of mystery.

Anonymous, Thanks for very much for the comment "well composed and tasteful". Very much appreciated, especially the "tasteful" (well I equally like the "well composed" too :)

Mark, I appreciate your comment especially the "wonderful sense of mystery". I was hoping that that would come across as that is what I thought might set this apart from most other nudes.

Thanks again,

Peter

I like it!  The lighting is good and the noise works well!

There are some things that I am not convinced:
- Hands are too flat, do not have "life";
- Perhaps lacking a bit 'of contrasts;

But there is a beautiful light and even the bottom is interesting.

Yes, nice picture

Michael, thanks for the input, very much appreciated!

Guiseppe, I agree about hands, especially her left hand. About the contrast, I wanted to keep the feel of the photo soft. I boosted the contrast when editing and didn't like the hard feel it gave the image. I felt the softness complimented the expression better. Thank you very much for the input!

Sincerely,

Peter

This reminds me of a French post card from the 1930's.  Kudos to both you and the model.
