Oh gosh, please don't take this the wrong way. The angle is good. It just kind of makes the model look like she has a really big butt. I know she doesn't cause she has such a slim waste, but the perspective makes it seem that way. I think that a more straight on shot of the back might have been a bit more flattering. Unless, of course, you were going for this look, then I'll leave it alone. It kind of looks like you are taking a photo of a pencil, but trying to show off the tattoo. You could reverse it, you could take a photo of the tattoo at a more direct angle, and have the pencil still in the pocket be visible, but kind of in the background. I like the tattoo, it gives the photo originality. Might have looked more natural if the model was wearing a half shirt, instead of scrunching up a full shirt. The lighting is beautiful, and the red belt gives this photo zing. Good luck with the challenge.
Interesting shot, lots of vibrant colours and shapes. I don't know that the viewpoint is very flattering to the subject, but I doubt flattery was the intention. The arms seem to be a little lost - coming in from strange angles. Perhaps one could have touched the left hip and been more connected to the foreground? 5, Kavey
Ok, this is obviously a guy picture! Love the detail on the jeans, belt, etc... this one could have been used for the Texture challenge...lol. Pencil should have been a "Dixon Ticonderoga" though...
