I love the composition of this shot, her styling and the setting match perfectly. On thing is I would change the expression or try to evoke a different one from the model. Her current expression speaks "I'm making a business deal" to me but it should match what she's wearing which would be, "I think I'd like to seduce you right now"

This is actually amazing, very creative concept and I love it. I think I'd like to pose a challenge and have them all facing and trying to emote their part of love, faith, and hope.

This?

Very lovely shot, i like the softness of the edit. Like the styling but it's missing something. There is a question I want to ask, "What are we doing here, why is she sitting there dressed like that?" Maybe some eyes contact or at least if the eyes are away some sort of movement or action would answer it for me.

Oh yes! Love it. The expression on her face and her tattoos. Great feel here, just what I would expect from a shot like this.

Great setting, love the dark water and shadows in the contrast to the setting sun. The wardrobe is good and appropriate but I would have loved and expected a more ethereal and soft expression from the model or at least surprised.

lets here it.  What goes around comes around.  Im ready.

This shot confuses me a little. On one hand the shadows, her expression, and body language including the big syringe with dark liquid tells me that it's supposed to be dark theme or mood; which it does have a feel of. On the other hand her immaculate costume takes away from that darkness. If I only looked at her styling I would say she should be in a lighter setting doing a lifestyle shoot. So I would change the styling up a little.

Very lovely! The mood, the styling, and her expressions tell me that she's in a dream or fantasy world, in her own mind. I find this shot very artistic and beautiful.

Good call.  Thank you.

Awesome shot. The wardrobe or what I could see of it, the back ground and the curious/confused/perturbed expression bring it all together into one very lovely package.

What say you Miroslava??

Great edit; her pose and the background fit very well. Was the ribbon on her during the shot or was it added after? For some reason when I look at it I think after, it's a little stiff. I could be wrong and actually a soft ribbon on the model during a shot would take it up a notch.

Bear! I love this styling, the attitude in your pose and expression. It's one great combination. One thing I don't like it's all the white in the photo itself, think it would be much better without it.

Well take me up a notch Miroslava .... I threaded the ribbon over her body while she laid on the bed. In hind sight it probably should have been draped a little more loosely over her breasts, but hindsight is 20-20!

Thanks for your comments.  Get well soon and kick this new year into gear!!

Beautiful shot and a beautiful model. Love the hair in this and the expression matches the hair. Hands, I have an issue with hands that don't make sense. I know that many use hands in beauty shoots and it ads an element to the shot but in this case I think it distracts. You expression doesn't tell me they should be there. I think an arm extended in the direction of where the hair is going would make much more sense because the expression almost calls for someone to go with you somewhere or to look at something. I hope this makes any sense, sometimes it's hard to express what's going on in my head.

Ok so it could be just what the ribbon was made of, there are some fabrics that fall a little softer and others that go over a little stiff.

Thank you, I'll try.

Feel free to say anything you'd like, but keep in mind I am aware there are a number of older images, which I plan to replace as I get new pretties.

Hi Doug! I would like you to pick an image that I would look at. I don't like doing the picking myself.

Do you like ?

Love it! The hat gives it character and a mood and her pose and expression complete it. Her hand actually makes all the sense in the world, I know I myself and other women I've seen naturally could be found in such a pose with a similar expression. Great shot!

As you wish.   

I understand not liking doing the picking, neither to I, but I will gladly take your thoughts regarding this one.

As I said though, if there is one that you wish I had picked, I won't hold you to your own rules!!

Love the concept and the way how the model's hair and the horse's mane are swept aside. Great skies! Only one but, the crop, I think that I should be able to see the whole animal or at least it's head. The model isn't exactly the focus here, it's more like the model and the animal together. I don't want to get technical because I am not experienced in that but it seems that either it needs to be cropped tighter on a model or looser to include the second model.

Alright!! High fives all round!!!

Thank you for such positive feedback you've gone and made me blush (not a common occurrence let me say)

I hope your bout of illness passes quickly and you're back on your feet soon.

Happy new year xx

I really like this shot, i like her posing and her expression. I think the only thing I have an issue with is styling. The reason why I picked styling over posing is because you're a photographer so I believe you have your objective of creating a mood and feel of the photo established if it was a model i was doing this for I would say change the pose.

I have an issue with her waist line. That dress is beautiful and fits well but in that pose with that feel the styling needs more to accentuate her waist. It can be done with different posing but we don't want to mess with the posing in this case so an accessory or an addition piece to her wardrobe can take care of it on the styling side.
