Terrific! Thanks for posting your wonderful work John.

Good shot and work.

Good shot, my dear!

very interesting capture John, with a lot of tonus and character.

No critique, but just wondering why you didn't cropp of (or cloned out) the wooden box? I'm always going back to him to search why he is there.

Thank you Piet. I guess I'm lazy ...

Do not touch that box, it is a very nice element that does not distract. The rough wood with her torn jeans are a nice touch. The image is a beautiful portrait of this model/muse. The background complements her skin tone. Her expression is pensive and the pose relaxed. The hint at future, or past, undress works nicely as well. It is such a departure from the usual glamour image that it immediately attracted me.

Thaks Mark, lazy or not, I tend to agree with you, maybe that is also why instinctively I left it in, however I understand that some may find it distracting ... in fact it was an abandoned building and that is what it looked like ... I think it all has an effect on the mood that a model portrays ..

Everything works together to enhance the mood. The light is warm and soft,the colors tonal, and the facial expression "moody". I partciulalry like how the necklace draws the eye to the center of the image. My compliments to you both.
