I had a surgical procedure yesterday, and therefore I'm grounded at home for a few days.

I will critique your work. What this means is that I will apply my taste to your work. I will do my out most to be constructive and fair; however, please be aware I am very picky when it comes to photography.

I own it, including styling and curious as to Your thoughts.

Hi FIFTYONE,

Not crazy about it. The light is flat (back-lights help), and the model look tired (Look under her eyes.) Her expression is non-existent, and not flattering either. Mouth is stiff, pose is stiff.
The tattoos are distracting. I personally do what I can to avoid them, or erase them. It's having someone else's work in yours.

Styling is very meh. The pearl necklace is too small and it looks like cheap plastic. Bigger things read better in pictures. The combination of hat, jacket, stockings, and umbrella, just doesn't work (especially the umbrella). A splash of color would have been nice somewhere (perhaps some pants too), especially against that white background, which I don't like either. It's on the verge of screaming.

Also, the watermark should not exist.

Sorry to be so critical, but this stuff just jumps at me.
