Interesting. You've done a lot of work to get the result you want.

If it was easy, we'd all do it too. You'll likely find as many opinions as there are viewers.  Keep doing what you are doing, it's much better than most.

 I seem to enjoy the portrait style, where the model's expressions really put the image over the top. That's a reason I like John Peri's work so often. The personal relationship is something he seems to be a master at portraying.

Havig your own style is what seperates one from the pack. 

there's an element of sun and shadow on the model's face. I can only draw a baseball analogy, wherein the mound is in sunshine and the plate in shadows. It is more difficult to see the ball when half its travel is in sun and half in shadow. In this instance it sems to me that the mixture of sun and shadow detracts from, rather than enhances the image.

I thought that the reflector might help balance the sunlit and the shaded sides of the model's face.

I think of faces and expression as very important to the overall image quality.

Great picture and model,

I guess someday they'll make edible paint.

atypical beachwear.

Pehaps a reflector to the model's left would have helped smooth out the light on her face.

great model, sexy shot

the unusual light works well,

of course so does the extraordinary model

Thank you John for the nice comment.

I have been lax lately, and have left the camera home much to often. When I pick it up again, I'll be sure to share more images. These two young ladies are 10 yrs old now, and more adorable than ever.

Congrats to the model, for working at it when most would not.

In time I suppose that digital will get there,

in the meantime, thanks for keeping the art alive.

Well done.

this is the bank's loss.

I hope she gets to model in her next career.

Well done.

I assume this was not submitted since there are no comments.

Stilll it is a wonderful image.

This is yet another exceptional photo, a good one to display in your studio marketing wall.

you've got most everything here, except the serpant

1992, and still beautiful in 2010.

There may still be a future for film too.

I don't think I can get the K-25 in my fridge processed any more.

excellent really

Very pleasing image as is.

I think that it could be better if you take the flash out of her eyes.

Candids always seem to come out best. this is no exception.

looks my-t-fine to me.

well done.

outstanding

i love the expression, not so much the backdrop

cute title for the eye candy

too much post production alterations, I think it could do well with a bit less.

This is very nice. You can post all you want of this model, please do.
