This is a very strong, very striking image. The lighting is near-flawless, and is the strength of the image. Nice composition, but she looks a bit uncomfortable. I have two small issues with the image. First, I'd really like to see her right eye. It missing makes the image a little tense. Lastly, that lone right thumb underneath her breast is mildly distracting. Still, a very nice image with a great model and terrific lighting. Well-done.
what a good looking woman. now I think that the light from the top is super effetive. gives this feeling of there being something angelic about her, or maybe there is a god out there; the light in her eye is great. the way the light falls on her face and arm; super. but is the light on her stomach necessary? have you tried with out? It does provide nice lighting on her breats. the shade between her breasts is very nice, but i guess it's just a little toooo harsh. the stomach seems to be overexposed. Maybe this is what you were aiming for but i think a softer light would have been better, if not any. but all in all i think it s a very good shot and she's very attractive. bump (not 10, but high enough to not bring you down i believe ;) )
