Straight forward, classic and timeless shot with a modern twist.  Fantastic wardrobe selection- unique.  Personally, I'd like to have better eye contact with the camera/viewer.

Beautiful woman, wonderful clothes, very sexual belly :).

For all your kind comments.  The skirt is a tablecloth ;) and the eye contact is in the next picture of this same photoshoot, of which I will be asking for critique shortly.

Warmest regards,

This is really good...not much I could add that would improve your effort here...I really like the combination of elements, lovely model, wardrobe, accessories, setting, etc...they all combine for a really good image.  The natural window light is excellent and you've done a nice job ensuring the shadow side exposure is nicely balanced.  I think that the 3/4 crop is very effective here...nice pose and averted gaze...very evocative.  Very nice capture.

Roberto,

She is indeed a beautiful girl. Her skin tone is very good. You have focused well on her eyes. While the background is sharp, she is much lighter than the background and therefore, nicely separated from the background. The homogeneous tones within the image work well. Her make-up is very good. I like the split lighting and the shadowed areas are filled in nicely. She has good catchlights. Even though her placement is off-center the drapery helps with the left and right compositional balance. Her head is slightly turned to her right which makes her look out of the picture rather than into it. The compositional balance would be better if she was looking into the picture. She appears to be looking where her head is pointing and therefore, has very acceptable positioning of her eyes. 

The pose is quite nice, but I would like to have her turned at a bit of an angle to the camera. It is usually not a good idea to pose your subject's body facing straight on to, or away from, the camera. This is not a very feminine pose. Showing your subject’s widest areas (shoulder to shoulder or hip to hip) makes those areas appear wide. Your subject will appear thinner and more feminine, graceful and elegant if turned at an angle to the camera. The lines you see from an angle have more apparent motion, interest and grace. You usually do not want to have your subject turned 90 degrees to the camera. This can make the head look unsupported. Generally, it looks best to angle your subject somewhere around 45 degrees.

You have a merger of the top of the frame with the top of her head. With a 3/4 portrait you want her to have breathing room above her head. If this was a tight close-up you could cut into her head, but I can't think of a time when a merger would be a good compositional idea.

If you move the camera position up just a tad or if she tilted her head down slightly you wouldn't be looking up her nose.

Nice shot,

Mark
