I think this is a very good one... Not to hard and not to sweet a good in the middle... The model has good contact with the camera....

All the best, Jill

Great balance of it. Beautiful capture.

You know this reminds of something way, way back. I was in my early twenties working as computer operator in a big engineering agency in between my studies. In the operator room there were these big A0-sheets of paper left over and I used to draw on them. I am pretty good with pen and pencil. Being just another ordinary young man my mind occupied by girls and sex about 99% of time it was mostly nude women that I drew. One of the drawings that I did was very much like this, except, of course, totally nude. The older ladies from from the company named that drawing (hanging eventually on the cutting room wall) as the "The broiler" because the lady in the drawing was sort of bred to certain dimensions so to speak.

It's a funny piece of history. There were a couple very nice young ladies there to whom I was interested in but, as usual, with very little success. However, the older ladies there used to drop by to my office flirting very frequently and ever more so once they saw my drawings. Now, just imagine, had I been a middle aged guy with those drawings hanging on the wall I would have been sacked right that minute because I would have violated some equality rights of the middle aged women. But instead, I was sort of the cute young guy in the operator room.

I have a point here behind this story and it comes back to the fourth level question - why? Again it is not essential what other people think about a photo, but it is important for you to be totally honest why do you want to do a certain type of photo. Technically you've reached the routinely-good level. The next thing is to understand the message, the content in order to make better photos, better stories. Never mind what others, what I see. It is the the self-honesty which I find important at your level of photogpraphy. Once you understand the reasons why you do photos the way you do you can find the key to make them better. But, what do I know.

Thank you for your comments!

Tjenare Juha :)

you're one of those who support and helped me to get better so it was fun that I could bring your youth memories :)

The pose is quite classical.

I will take a serious reflection over the 4th step.

Best regards Tore
