I like this one too. The graphic sense of it is really good. Not wild about the blue dress - it seems too big for her as well. She' quite photogenic~ Your lighting technique really worked, going from dark to light, subtly all the way up the shot.
A magnificent picture. The wood's texture and exposure are fabulous, they just add a lot to the picture. And the background's color contrast well with the blue dress as well. The only thing that really bothers me is the model's expression. But there's really nothing you could've done there.
Ooh yeah! I like this one. However, it seems that the exposure of the wood just above her head is a bit much. I like the saturation of colors to her right side against the soft blue color of her dress.
