I like it but think it could be better if (1) the left hand wasn't missing and (2) if the lighting wasn't so straight on the model's face.

But just one worthless opinion.   smile

OK, now it is revenge time!!!

Red hightlights do a decent job of separating the model from background.  I personally like to shoot dark outfits and dark haired models on slightly lighter backgrounds... wink

Overall it's a good shot. If I had to critique it, I'm not quite sure I like what she's doing with her hand. I'd prefer it to be more loose and flowy

I like where you are going with these, but maybe try a bigger light source and light the background separately so the background can be dark where the foreground d is light and vise versa

I'm not a fan of this image.

The pose looks very stiff.

The hand on the head looks like a claw - tense and with short fingers.

Her left arm hanging vertically 'thickens' her body. Best to leave some negative space there.

It looks a little over exposed too, but that might the porcelain look you were going for. (again, not my thing...)

...I'm no expert at all, that's just my 2 cents....
