- Out of focus
- Bad lighting
- Wrinkled up sheets that don't even cover the whole background
- Models feet are cut off
- Hate the positioning of her legs
- The colors are all whacky. She's orange.

Sorry but honestly, I can't think of anything good to say about this shot other than the fact that the model is pretty

I agree, this is your best.
The only thing that could make this better would be a bit more light in the eyes. Other than that it is absolutely perfect as is. Listed.

go for it

This is a really cool look. I love your work and the only negative thing I have to say has nothing to do with you. The model is looking up too high and it makes her eyes look completely whited out.

Your portfolio is pretty awesome.

You have so much better than this in your portfolio.

- The left side of the shot is totally blown out
- Over saturation makes her face look orange and bright pink in spots
- The styling is kinda a mess too

- I really do not like her makeup
- The positioning of her arms is a bit weird. The one on the left looks like there is no hand and the one on the right looks like her wrist and hand are growing out of her chest.

You have some really awesome shots in your portfolio and a lot of them are much better than this.

- The sheet around you makes you look shapless

The concept is cool, however...the shots aren't.

The composition on these shots is not very good at all. It looks like you put no thought into it at all.

You do much better work than these.

Damn it!  Okay, I'll screw up better next time...

Thanks for over riding your insults and adding me to your list instead...  LOL.

All the best in 2009!

I love this shot but there are a few minor things I'll point out

- Too dark under left eye
- hair blends into the background too much

-The crop is a bit strange. Most of your limbs are oddly cutoff
- The bottom of a picture from or something is in the top of the picture
- Wrinkles in arm pit

You look fantastic though

- You look disgusted. I'm actually undecided on if I like it or not.
- The outer half of your eyebrow looks odd
- I would have taken out the earring for this shot

-The lighting sorta sucks. The model is way too dark...and orange/pink
- The end of her foot is cut off

Definitely not the best shot in your portfolio. You have much better.

I LOVE this shot. You look absolutely amazing and it is definitely your best shot. I was just about to list it, but apparently I already did that.
The only thing I don't particularly like is that your hands look pink/purple. Other than that, I am in love with this shot. Awesome work.

thanks lol. the hand thing is when i get cold lol!!!
