Alright, A lot of very interesting comments on this one. I am always the person saying "who is going to be the Jack a-- that has a naked girl on this competition?" Well... It was me this time. I have been gone for a while and only put this shot in because it was what I had and was excited to enter in a DPC comp.
-Thank everyone for your comments. I will work on better shots for next time.
Great job! A very clear shot, nice clarity and movement of the water. Would have been better had she not been so much in the shadow. Raising my original score from a 4 to a 6.
Good attempt at the WOW factor worthy of comment. I like the way her pose mirrors the hill side and the left leg is bent up, although the foot is blown out in the hilites. Well balanced light without blowing out the hills. Hint with nudes: try to avoid clothing lines by having the model wear loose fitting clothing for 1/2 hour before shoot.
Lovely model! The exposure is a bit off. The foot is overexposed, while the rest of her is a bit underexposed. I wouldn't have cropped off her hat. Anyhow, it looks like a great place to take pics, and hope to see more in your portfolio.
The pose following the curves of the background hills is great and I really like the angle of the hat and look on her face, but the blown highlights on the foot keep trying to pull my eye away and the amputated hand is a little distracting as well. If you had just had her move a bit to get her foot out of the sun and either adjusted your position or zoomed out slightly it would have been almost perfect.
Yeah...nudity usually sells on DPC, that being said the model's posture looks awkward with her leg appearing uncomfortable. The lighting seems too soft and flat as well. Also her face and eyes are not in sharp focus and I think that is what really subtracts from this image.
I can't help but like this for some reason ;] ... I wish my dear wife would pose for me in such a beautiful revealing way. My critism is as follows: The foot is a little too posed looking and is blown out so it distracts from the rest of the image. The tatoos are not to my taste simply because it takes away the purity of the subject. Lastly, The hat and shadow above the eye make me want to adjust it for her. This is nearly professional quality but the lighting simply needs to be a little more ... Oh heck, I've said enough. Very nicely done.
