Very strong pose for your model and exposure is perfect, but I'm not a fan of how both of her reflections are cut off by the edge of the frame. Perhaps bring one more into the composition and forget about the one on the right (moving/panning left would also cut off the sink from view); or try a slightly wider view.


Some variation in location would also be good; your portfolio seems to have an awful lot of photos in this same bathroom...

I be liking it I be! He might have a point about the refections but it doesn't bother me at all that you use the same locations for your environmental nudes. Truth be told, I use only one location for all of my nude work :=} Are you setting up lights here or are you using the available light in the room. If you are setting up lights, I'm guessing it is quite difficult to keep them and yourself out of the shots.

I must agree with Mark. I have never been one for things that are cut off. That said, it might work if exactly half the body was reflected at either side of the frame. The sink pedestal does take up too much of the frame. I appreciate space was limited.

Jim, I find it works very nicely with only the reflection to the left added, meaning by cutting out the other one, but then only as an alternative to your present version.

I quite understand the limited choice of places to get people to take their clothes off in safety and comfort. I didn't necessarily mean it as a criticism, I just seem to be getting quite familiar with this bathroom!

 

The lighting is absolutely excellent and very natural looking. I'm particularly impressed you managed to fit it into such a small space and avoid any awkward shadows or reflections (the only reflections seem to be the side of the bath and a highlight on the sink, but I assumed they were from a window). Is that a stripbox to the right, and windows to the left or another box as rim? I'm still learning lighting techniques so any tips you can share as to your setup would be appreciated.

Wonderful image and spot on exposure. I would prefer to crop off the reflection on the right side and see the reflection on the left without being cut off. Congrats.
