well.. this is something new from you, Rich. I like how you captured the model's attitude. A bit too much foreground in the shot for my taste.. especially since it's out of focus. either a tighter F stop (no, not a bus stop :P) would do nicely here, or a slight pan to the left.

and now "we" have a MM#..well excuuuuuse me! ;-)

It looks good to me Gonzo. A very provocative pose she is striking with that come hither look. You have captured the essence of what she was trying to convey. She is a very good model and you an excellent photographer.
I think a bit of the building, pole or whatever she is leaning against could be lessened. Just an opinion from the "confessions of a dangerous mind." lol

Very simple and very sexy. Just goes to show you dont have to see alot of skin to be sexy. Great shot.

She really is beautiful and this is an amazing capture Rich.

I am definitely in love.

My first thoughts too, this IS different! Definitely captures a mood, suggestive more than desire from here. I think less of the building is in order, it adds nothing to your lovely subject. Skin tones, colors and clear details are very good. I find people more complicated than animals. lol Wonderful work!

There's a model who knows how to flirt with the camera. If she's selling something, I'm in the market for it.

"A bit too much foreground in the shot for my taste."

"I think less of the building is in order, ..."

Me?

Would have brought a paint scraper with me.

/\ Oh, you'll figure it out. :oP

On a more serious note, if that is at all possible with moi ... around her more lighted eye?

Maybe employ a soft brush utilizing the Burn tool ... very, very low exposure, as in, less than 5% for sure (I would start with a value of 1%) ... and smooth out the unevenness in skin tones of that area. Will provide an assist as well, I believe, in softening her facial structure/bones ... particularly that above her brow.

Nit picking, really, in the above.

Nice shot, Rich. :o)

Nice balance in this shot - The fence is a bit blurry to the right - I would have liked more detail in that but otherwise I think it is great :)

Hi Rich, I'm glad you decided to share some of your recent photographic endeavors with us and hope you will continue to do so (where it is possible) so we may see how things are progressing...in the meantime, with respect to this photo, I would agree with Rob's comments that the models' expression is certainly provocative but the fence she is leaning against is somewhat of a distraction and perhaps cropping a good portion of it out would be an idea...I know I've made the same mistake while shooting a photo of my daughter once in a similar pose...people shots can be tricky to bring out the best...lighting, shadows, angle, and of course the model herself all go towards portraying the mood or telling the story...I have looked at some of your other shots with this girl and feel there were a couple others I liked better than this one...will email you with more on that...but you're off to a great start and I wish you all the best in this new direction.

I don't think these kinds of suggestive poses belong on Caedes.

Leaving the technical stuff to others I'll just say, for me: She and you have caught a come-hither look without appearing jaded, almost like she's very young and not entirely certain of her female powers yet. I like it.

Very nice looking lady. Picture seems a bit "cut off" the way it is now.

Would love a shot with her more either on the right or left of the photo, a wee bit more background around her, & slightly more chest shot.

Could be me, but she seems a bit too out of focus on this pic.
