From a military theme shoot. I have several others that I liked more, but I wanted to try and keep the 'Army of Two' jokes to a minimum, so I went with this one :)
Various level adjustments done, sharpened after resize. I'll probably clone out the left hand that slightly shows, but couldn't do it for this challenge.

Obviously this type of work doesn't 'fit' well here at DPC, so this will most likely be my last entry with models like this.

I'm not exactly sure what you do for a living, but I get this funny little feeling that you are a very lucky man who is very happy with his choice of career.... :)
Not really digging the pose, I don´t feel like it does her justice and makes her butt and stomach seem bigger than they actually are, she seems to have an awesome figure. Nothing wrong with the lighting, that is top notch.
MAsterful job on lighting subject and comp. Background's very cool too. I like the way the light gradients from one side to the other. This adds alot of depth.
Great idea, even better execution. Technically perfect as far as I can tell with my limited portrait knowledge. The lighting looks to be excellent and I think the background is the ideal complement to the model. She has "the look" as well, just right for the challenge. 10 (one of two in this challenge from me)
While the lighting and set up is well done the subject just seems bland and abit boring for me, (Im not referring to girl herself btw, just pose expression and attire, :P). Otherwise i would of scored higher.
Besides the camo top, I'm not really get the idea of army or what she might be fighting against/for ... there's just no context (maybe if it was fashioned more like a recruitment poster). Maybe she needs a hat.
The photo is wonderfully shot, the tones and colors are great.
