This would be a lot more arresting if (1) the contrast were higher, (2) her entire hand were in focus, and (3) the photo were sharp from the tips of her fingers through the plane of her face.

Stay away from filters in flat light--what's the point? All you're doing is cutting down on speed--in your case 2.5 stops! Another way to go with this scene is to choose a film like Tri-X and experiment by shooting it at its rated ISO and pushing it (EI 640, 800, 1000, 1250 etc). Then, for the pushed negs, overdevelop them to pick up contrast. You'll have to keep notes, though, and tailor what you do to your own equipment.

In the pantheon of Photographic Rules there is no "5.6 and be there". . . . Unheard of; no way. Say after us f8f8f8f8f8f8f8f8. ;-) -
Your bondage shots have a long way to go. These photos are more like "Girl Badly Tied UP with Large-Gauge Nylon Rope with Frayed Ends" than they are true bondage shots. There's no erotic charge in them--no tension. Check out some of the sites on "Shibari" (the Art of Japanese Bondage) to see how it's really done. Finally, your lighting is too flat and uninteresting.

Cool shot. I would also crop a litle more off the dashboard, but not too much.
-
Nice. Recommendation: Shoot more verticals. -
You cut off her hands . . .

I'm not crazy about the pose. It makes you look like you're lying on the ground just before the cops slap the handcuffs on your wrists . . . (unless, of course, that's what it's supposed to be. If so, then I'd cast my vote for a reshoot).
-
Without your having guided me through the historical subtext of the photo, I'd never have deciphered your intent.
-
I think the nude alone would have been exquisite just as it is--slightly out-of-focus. The whatever-it-is that stands between the viewer and the nude is too distracting. -
Dizzying.

I'd print it much higher in contrast to increase its graphic appeal; as it is, it's a nice photo but a little too literal for me; and I might just want to include her lips in the photo (without seeing them, though, I don't know, but I don't particularly like the way you've cropped the photo through her lips).
-
Also, I'd eliminate the camera strap, blow out the background completely, level the tripod, and add a more 'natural' perch for the bird. -
What's that distracting element in the lower righthand corner? Otherwise, very nice nude. -
Excellent shot.
-
I like this image very, very much, except for the way her left elbow distorts the composition. As a nude it would be even better--similar to the famous Man Ray nudes of Lee Miller.

I'd like to see these soap jobbies polarized.

Bag the candles. -
Had you lain down on the ground in front of this little girl and framed her vertically, eliminating all background visual noise, too, I think then the picture would have become a photograph that worked. . . .
-
She's hiding and the shapes are all wrong. Doesn't work.

?

You might want to place a catchlight in her eyes (see my comments to your previous post, too). . .

Pretty woman. Try having her look right at you--into the lens. Shoot a whole roll like that---instructing her not to look away. Ask her to move her head (chin up, down, right, left, etc) but to always maintain eye contact with you. Tell her to turn her head as far to her right as she can without losing you from her field of vision and then tell her to slowly/quickly/whateverly rotate her head to the left. Interact with her and shoot when you see/anticipate (rangefinder/slr) something you like. Make her laugh, have her serious, pensive, etc. Then have her do the same starting from the left side, but without losing eye contact with you. Frame enough of her head to include that great mane of hair and leave out all the trees and extraneous clutter. Concentrate on each other.
