Nice soft lighting and great skin. I can't decide if I like the lower light or not. It adds interest, but the color changes the mood of the soft lighting from the left.
The pose and expression are perfect. I'd like to see just a little more light on the subject, maybe a soft spot light on the face to hilight the expression.
I like the pose, I question the use of the fists though, I suppose the self defense title might explain it. I think a bit more light on the hair, to prevent it from blending into the background might have helped the score. Good luck
I think the mixed lighting types in this detract a little. Yellow tungsteon bottom right & blue daylight top left don't match. B&W conversion would overcome this.
I guess the title explains why the hands are in fists, but I don't find it so fitting for such an image.
Appart from that the image is quite nice.
Mix of warm and cool lighting has an odd effect... the areas lit with cool light are too low in contrast, it looks like to me, and slightly too blue to look natural. The fists give a sense of tension that is not reflected in the face, adding to the subtle confusion I get from this image.
I think the image is a overall a little dark. I like the lighting. I also like the direction the model is looking, it makes me wonder what she's looking at. Interesting.
This is very interesting. I don't normally like the effect ni has on skin, but the use here gives the model a glow as if she is a cherub. The grasp on her breast and the expression on her face make me wonder what's going on. The shadow across her breast and the bracelet are distracting.
the expression on the model is great. I think it would have flowed through thhe image a little better if she had crossed her arms across her chest rather than balled up fists to the nipples. The fists on the chest look is kind of donkey-kongish and seem a little out of place in the imagey
Maybe if the hands weren't fists it might've been a bit more pleasing to the eye. Ok, I know the title, but..................... I'd up the lighting just a tad as well.
you are going in the right direction with the lighting but i think it could have been stronger with the light shining all the way to the head and not being slightly yellow cast.
