IMO, this is what I see:
Makeup is too dark for her face or the lighting is making it too dark next to the white (highly lit) hand
Hand position on face....cheesy
hip wrinkle....either reshoot or PS out
That belly ring is distrating...it resembles a rolled condom
The arm position is not flattering to her figure....makes her look too soft, not toned
the lighting is uneven
the backdrop quits 1/2 way thru the shot, dividing it in half
Nice lingere
Beautiful girl....just needs to be positioned better with better m/up, lighting and b/g
Nice pose and lighting. The color of the model's face makeup is a little off, unflattering. Also, her navel jewelry looks like something unmentionable.
Very well captured. these images are very difficult when we bring the hands up to the makeup face and the hand skin pales. Nevertheless, the image remains interesting because of the model's good poise. Bumping up.
very sexy. good use of light and skin tones are great. not being a fan of belly-button rings, it's a bit distracting to me. I may have cropped it higher IMO. Good job. 9
The makeup on her face is darker and more yellow than the rest of her body. Also, the belly button ring is a bit distracting. Maybe somehing smaller wouldn't draw as much attention.
Eek! The skin tone of her face doesn't match the rest of her. Her hand near her face is several shades lighter! Very unappealing. Someone overdid it on the pancake or the bronzer. This looks like a boudoir photo. I can't really imagine this in a fashion magazine. Maybe Fredericks of Hollywood?
I really don't like this look. And the model's pose furthers my dis-interest (why she died her hair to such an unnatural and distracting color is beyond me).
Her hand looks large and muscular and looks to be pushing her face off. There is way too much make up and the coloring is all off.
The background is distracting as it changes right in the middle.
eh....
Too many elements just rub me the wrong way with this. And yet everything says potential setup for an excellent photo.
Well this one should garner some views. ;^) Very attractive model. Image is well composed and lit. Makeup on the face is a little heavy. Wouldn't be noticed if there weren't so much skin tone in other places to compare it to. Good luck in the challenge.
beautiful model... the skin tones are lovely.. the blown white is distracing but the background is excellent... her hand framing her face is a bit contrived looking.. I would love to see this shot with her hand in another position - maybe on her hip?
I like the setup agains the black background. The only thing that bothers me is the diffence of skin color between the hand and face. I can't tell if it's just the lighting of the makeup. Just my $.02.
Don't know if it's the lighting or her makeup, but her face is very yellow. I think it's the makeup, since her forearm isn't as yellow. The pose is ok, except for the placement of her hand - it would be far more flattering to have the back of her hand along the other side of her face. As it is now, it makes her hand and her jaw look overly large.
Composition: 4 - not a fan of that hand on the face
Technical: 5
