Wonderful, John!!

The placement of her arms and head creates an impressive and strong result here. Very good!

Congrats on your publication and Bravo... I Hope you had a Happy New Year for You, Family and Friends. Wishing you the Best for 2014! Exellent shot as always.

Best Regards

Matthew

yes, great pose and use of light (natural light?)

Thank you friends .. yes, this is natural evening light. 

Evocative of Marilyn this is... An instant classic! If clothed, I can see her waiting alongside a road awaiting a ride. If nude awaiting a ride one just might stop :=}

Very pretty light on her skin, really nice dynamic pose.

Congratulations on the publication and I will be looking for it.  I agree with Yannis and think the arm positions and expression really make this shot.  Very cool.  Dana...

A really beautiful result and congratulations with your success in PHOTO, John!

John: I love the lighting, tones and balance.  She has a wonderful cheeky look expression and posture that's saying, "So yeah!".  Congrats on the publication.  That's great.  Alan.

Thank you friends, your encouragement is much appreciated. 

I love the facial expression, the body shape and the background to a certain extent, my on offer of a crit would be the fact the tree growing out her head and sides, its minor and not overly distracting, but other than that love it.

Thank you Colin, I appreciate that. Ideally for me also the bottom part of the tree especially would be out of the way, but unfortunately that is how the moment presented itself. I am not really sure how much overall impact that kind of thing has on an image, it's a bit like missing fingers and sloped horizons, sometimes it can be annoying, other times who cares .. 

Very cute... another winner from the posemaster!

Beautiful model, light and pose.
