Wonderful lighting and composition. Nice skin tones but I would darken her left chest wall a bit. Nicely done, Ray!

Beautiful lighting and composition. I might dodge the right arm to the up to the sholder a bit and burn down the the fore arm ever so slightly so the focus remains on the face and the arm does not look detached.

Excellent BW
Excellent, but where is the model credit ? This looks to me like Amber G. I always try to credit the models I work with as well as the photographers. I'm sure this is just an oversight. If it is Amber, it's probably one of the best images I've seen done of her. Great work.

7/6
Awesome shot! Her pose/expression does alot here.. credit to her! Her look/expression here is timeless. I like that her right arm (from her side) is brighter since it gives a feeling that someone else is hugging her.. or that she wants love from someone but cant get it for some reason. Lots of stories in this shot. Very good shot! Congrats! =)
Regards,
Patrick J

Great face and pose.
The tonal balance is not perfect but with this model and your skills? I think you can reach the "TOP"
Ola E. Hofshagen , October 03, 2005; 04:18 A.M.
Great, but..
Great pose. What I don't like so much is the plastic-fantastic look of her skin, with no skin texture. Also, there's slight evidence of posterization on the models right shoulder, probably as a result of dodging in the shadows. The D2X doesn't have much leeway in shadow-areas, because of the limited dynamic range here.

Olae
Thanks for the comments. The shoulder wasn't dodged nor burned, the challenge I had was that the background was about mid-gray, to level it down, I have to give up about 1/4 of the recorded dynamic range, I think.
Skin tune is something I'll try on bodyscape next time. Thanks and regards.

7/7 Wonderful portrait! Very good lightning and skin tones. good pose and beautiful lady. Regards
Chris P. Sampson , October 08, 2005; 08:27 A.M.
I think the quality of the skin tones on the face is as good s it gets. But the right shoulder is very odd, and the effect of the light arm - dark arm - light side looks like a reverse oreo cookie. I think with a bit of curves/levels this could be a well warranted 7 for asthetics

Super detail... strong composition.
Nicely done.
Henry Chavez , October 10, 2005; 04:14 P.M.
Excellent composition to capture the beauty of your models facial features.

Bautiful shot of a gorgeous model. Goes along really well with an equally impressive portfolio. Well done
