A super portrait of this most marvelous model Jim. I must comment however on the blown out highlights along her right side. With the judicious use of a layer mask  on your curves layer you could knock this down and then use another curves layer that affects only the highlight, though the use of a mask, to knock it down still further. Another approach if you are shooting raw would be to do two conversions, place one over the other and through the use of a mask, reveal the darker highlit area below. Sorry for being so long winded but this gal and image deserve the extra effort :=}

Ok Raymond, you must show me this one day, I have no idea how to do these things you mention .. 

There are a few highlights, but I am more stricken by the confidence that women can express sometimes in these circumstances. The stockings, the tattoos, the pose, they all fit in this photo to give a strong  impact Jim, a good one for me, bravo. I almost never compliment the models, but you both know the respect and admiration that I hold for them. 

This is "fixed" so the hot spot on her side is gone.
