such a pretty model, and the drape of semi-transparent red works well here.
For me this has potential to be right up at the top but is let down by little technical details like the join of the wall to the carpet, the shadows, and probably chopping her feet off. Getting a large bed sheet or curtain taped to the wall would have given you a continuous background, and the lighting is largely practice - but you know the model still carries this shot strongly. It would be good to see more pictures of her.
I think this had the potential to be a great picture. The model is beautiful and the pose is very tasteful. Nice touch with the bright red lipstick and red scarf.
There are two main problems though.
1. Shadows - On the wall and inner thigh are the most distracting.
2. The location - I know everyone doesn't have a studio, but even a sheet to cover the floor and get rid of the corner between the wall and floor would be a drastic improvement. A black sheet or posing on a dark leather couch would also reduce the shadows.
If this is your wife, do her justice and try this picture again, in fact, it would look even better when she is 8-9 months pregnant.
Culd have been much better with more attention tolighting and environment.
Very flat lighting, casting hard shadows on her and the wall
Ugly floor and wall, adding nothing to the picture.
Your model is beautiful and I love the way you made her eyes and lips pop. It might be my monitor, but there appears to be a slight greenish hue on the subject and wall.
It kinda bothers my how you cut of her feet and the list on the wall behind her is distracting and so are the shadows on the wall. But the model is beautiful and the editing looks pro specially on her face.
Her face and body are so pretty but too bad you cut off her toes. Shadows and grey carpet are not flattering. Next time move her away from the wall more to lessen the distractions.
Wodnerful model and you are very correct with the title. Only complaint would be the backdrop and dutting off the toes. Easy to overlook though with those beautiful dark eyes.
The shadows on the wall do no justice to this, and the toning makes it feel dark and depressing, instead of the celebration of a growing life that seems to be the intent.
