One of my favorites here, love the pose and the softness, her facial expression is perfect and the subdued colours are as well, good job hope to see you ribbon!
good idea but technique of lighting needs to be worked on the image lacks punch and depth maybe it is on camera flash which has flattened the image tr it again with natural light could be a winner
The desaturated color doesn't bother me at all, that's nice. The background does. I just think it could have been more flattering to the overall feel of the shot.
Lighting seems a bit harsh, especially for a nude with flowers. The processing also seems to have drained the image of colour, which is a shame, given that her hair seems like it would add nice red splash of colour to the photo.
I'm afraid the harsh lighting (and some distracting BG elements) hurt the scores on this one. Softer lighting (less direct), and turning the subject 45 degrees would have produced more flattering results. Her eyes toward the camera would give this emotionally stronger.
That said, I also think that you can easily improve on this as your subject has her own unique beauty that should be explored. Keep going! :)
This could be a great image with better lighting. I love the use of the flowers & the extra accent in the hair. The On camera flash creates a horrible shadow and makes a very flat image. Get your flash off your camera, or fire it onto a white wall to reflect the light back onto the model from the side. in this case the best lighting would be to the right as that is the way the face is looking. The colours also look very flat in this image. Beautiful model by the way.
The background is very distracting here. Also moving your model (a lot) further away from the background (and maybe putting a light on it) can help against the hard shadows underneath the arms. Also don't like the bluepurple hue of the image. Sorry.
unflattering lighting and tone. The flowers a nice touch and the model is attractive, but the dark shadows under her arms don't help, nor does the backdrop. Perhaps a black backfrop would have lent a greater contrast.
Simple and nicely real. The soft even light works well on the model as does the shy pose. I'm not fond of the background, however. It doesn't seem to mesh well with the overall feeling of the portrait.
