Shot in my home studio with one strobe and one main light. Looking for constructive criticism... I should have gotten her whole foot in the picture at the bottom left of the picture...

Very nice image. The only thing I don't like is how your models feet are chopped off on the bottom of the frame and she seems a little "stiff". Perhaps if she had relaxed her shoulders a bit more, it would seem more natural and less like she is trying to "cover up". I like the use of negative space on the right, but it like it's cropped a smidge too tight on the left side. Nice use of lighting and post processing. I even like the soft shadow behind the model.
Super cute pose, model looks a little tense (understandable its not everyday we sit in front of a camera trying to cover our bits ;) ) Only suggestions i'd offer at first glance (for what its worth coming from me) is be aware of cutting off toes etc in the frame which i'm sure you've heard a zillion times so far and relaxing the shoulders goes miles in making a model appear more relaxed. When we are tense we tend to draw them up around our necks.
Comp is off here. She's way to close to the edge and the feet are cut off, adn that unfortunately makes it look very ackward in my opinion. Not appealing to the eye even though the model is very attractive. The capture of the moment itself is good, even the lightining is good, but Comp....needs some work. 6
your model looks posed, and cold. Maybe a beer or two to lighten her spirits would have been a good tactic. As a matter of fact, I struggle too with getting my model to lighten up, maybe I will try the beer or two thing myself. Still a wonderful photo, and an absolutely stunning model.
Lovely model. Great job with the lighting and exposure. I think the composition might be a little stronger if her feet were not cut off in the frame and there were just a little breathing room on the left of frame.
Great shot - good lighting, focus and DOF and the colour is nice too. But the composition feels a bit off balance. Maybe get rid of all that white on the right?
I think the lighting and focus are superb. I like off-balance compositions, but this one is a little too off. If the flow of the model's body pointed into the negative space, or her gaze helped bring some balance, that would help a lot.
you made me smile with this one... with the way you composed it, I can feel how she would like to move about 2 ft. to the right and be out of the picture all together...
I think cut off feet spoil this. I like the soft shadow at the back, and her jewellery compliment her pretty face. She doesn't appear to be having much fun and neither am I!.
