I see no one has commented on this photo since voting ended, which is sad. I like the image, I agree that the hands shouldn't be cut off however I feel the OOF block to the left adds a nice depth to the image. I do not believe the image if cropped would have the same impact to me. Perhaps another angle to have taken this image would be to crop and decrease the depth of field to keep the remaining foreground OOF but I'm not sure the smaller block is far enough from her not to also catch her in the blur.
Beautiful model, but the pose is awkward and chopping off both hands and feet detracts from the image. A tighter crop (just below the top knee would do) would be a better presentation.
Nice and sharp and looks good in general. A couple things bother me a bit. Both hands are cut off (but just barely). I wish they were either fully in the shot or cut off more. Also, the big OOF block on the left is a little overpowering. I do like the pose and the expression on your subject.
