The light on this is specatular---gorgeous and warm just like the model---great texture in the fabric and the wall----nicely framed--great job---

Great photo and a gourgeous model! Congratulations!

hard to believe a farm worker would be wearing clothes like that but the shot is still clear and well lit, technically solid.

It's out-door in an old barn, and only available light !!

Nice model and light.

The lighting is nice but a bit harsh and somewhat too dark for me on the R/H side. The pitchfork is a contrived addition and the dropped shoulder straps are cliche, the twisted neck and the eyes off into some imaginary space are also quite cliche. But, she IS quite pretty, and I would have perhaps dumped the pitchfork, put the shoulder straps back up where they belong and rotated her a bit more toward the lighting and told her to look at something closer so the eyes aren't disappearing. Right now it sort of reminds me of a poster for a Wagnerian opera.
