boudoir Alabaster

One of the images from the recent Classic Nude Workshop we taught.

Constructive critiques are always welcome.

I think I'd prefer this as pure BW (or color). The single element color technique is becoming well worn, and it doesn't seem to add anything here. However, I think I would really like this shot as a BW. It's well seen and well executed.

I agree with the above comment. In fact the red hair is too distracting and quite frankly diminishes what would otherwise be a beautiful and very sensual portrait. I also think that you softened her left arm a little too much...it looks a little strange...

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, some feel that desaturated, spot color is a gimmick. I think it depends.

Regarding her left arm, it's actually motion blur. This was taken by the modeling lights with a vr lens.

 

thanks

I have been looking at this for quite some time and I get the feeling something is not quite right. Sounds strange but it's as if it's not quite landscape. I think extending her elbows to fill the frame (at least a little more) would enhance the image.
