In hindsight I would have added a touch of light from the right

side. Would love to know what you think. Thanks.

Nice picture, good work, congratulations...

I really like the pose, it reminds me of a crucifixion. 6/6 and thanks.

this, but the male version, was his the intent?

The pose was not meant to imitate the crucifixion or emulate Michael's male version, which I like but haven't seen before. I merely wanted to rake the light across her torso to highlight her lines and curves, so I told her to lift her arm so it didn't cast a shadow. Lifting the other arm helped emphasize the hip curve, which I should have lit better.

Tonal gradation is good

The Rembrant lighting effect would have been a good version, if the background was something other than black cloth. I don't think lighting the right side with this background would have been good.

 

As for the image, very nice. good pose, and great lighting.

Interesting work!!!!!

In this great image cropping and pose are the strong points. The landscape of the body is well articulated by the light. I don't mind the lighting on the right. The left side is also fine. It seems to me, thought, that the contrast between the two contrasts is too great--I'd try to either make the left side less contrasty, or enhance the contrast of the right.

 

Lovely image, though.
