I like.....

The girl (very pretty!) but thats not really a photgraphic point!

The pose - nice idea

The lighting - well done

The exposure / shutter speed etc. picture is technically good.

I don't like....

The way her hair leaves the edge of the picture. It looks like you meant to get it all in and missed.

The background seems to suit her hair, but clashes with the clothes. As the hair is prominent in the picture some different colour clothes might have been better.

Just to be different, I don't mind the hair going out of the frame. It's a balanced composition, and adding more space on both sides in order to accomodate the hair would just add needless background.

Quite nice. I only thing I would have tweaked the pose just a little to accentuate her figure. I think one of two ways that I use; if she'd move her right hand slightly higher on the hip - or move her right hand a little lower down the thigh and bring it forward a little more. I think that would give her a little more "twist."

Hi
Quite nice but the background shows the effect of a "burn-in" tool. Whilst it is clever if you intended to mimic the hair into the background but it just doesn't work.

The model's "under garments" detract from the "figure" and look unprofessional.

You have undoubted skill; hone them!

Regards

Actually this photo is unretouched. It is straight off of my Compact Flash card. I suppose if I had retouched it I would have taken time to fix those unsightly lines from her undergarments.
