My only suggestion would be to back away a little, and frame it so that you don't cut her feet out of the picture. (That is a personal thing, it just bothers me.) Otherwise, I like how she is illuminated, and the rest is darker.
I guess if I were combining a landscape and a portrait with this settng, I'd have shot this from as low an angle as I could get, to reinforce the "heavenly" aspect, and to line your model's midriff up with that bright swath across the sky. A dark belt might have worked better, too.
Though I like this photo, I think I would have liked to have seen more of a close up on her absolutely lovely face. She seems to be almost overwhelmed by the background.
Beautiful shot/subject. Nice use of flash to bring her out more; in a way, she almost looks pasted in. ;) (including her feet would have "locked" her into this shot) 8 Swash
Seems a bit grainy...not sure if that was intentional or not. I think in this case, though the sunset is beautiful, I'd have liked to have seen more of the girl closer up.
Putting pretty girls in your photos is unfair to me as wanna-be-unbiased viewer, and yet I cannot bring myself to complain. :) I really like the contrast you've set up. Her jeans seem jagged on the edges -- not sure if that's oversharpening or a result of adjusting the levels to get that dark background.
Good shot, and nice colors. I like the pose of the model too. Only suggestions I have are a bit tighter crop, and more sharpness. There are a lot of jpeg artifacts.
The girl is definitely cute, but I think this image would have more artistic value and more impact if she was not in the image. Her presence turns this photo into a snapshot, where as it would have more artistic impact without her. The sunset and clouds look nice :) = 4 - jmsetzler
you over sharpened too much or started with too small an original. Between the sharpening and the flash she looks pasted in. This would have been an interesting shot during the advertising challenge.
What is your subject here? If you like the scenic, shoot the scenic. If yuo what a portrait, move in and get close. If you want a full body shoot, shoot vertically, and and do not cut of the feet. This is a grainy poorly composed snap shot as it stands.
