the composition is good to me, the model is good to me, the background in not good to me, too "tony montana from the 80's"... and her dress is nice but it does not help with the colors from the b/g again... a bit too much light on her face...

peace

The flare and the lack of contrast in the background might be distracting, but the hat, the pose, and the beauty of the model would probably be a strong selling point for some prospective customers. Overall, I like it.

Hmm... on my monitor the contrast (of the background) seems ok, just little dark... Nevermind, I'm going to buy a hardware calibration tool anyway.

Damn "over processed" need. When I was just to save the image I had the idea to add a lens flare... lol

Thanks for your comment! :D

I like the image overall, but I think the light is a little harsh.

I also agree that the light is a little harsh.

Is that background real? - or is your model superimposed on it?

Yeah, is the background real?

It seems that the colors are a bit too cool on the model for a sunset shot. Hence, why we are questioning if the bg is real or superimposed.

Her right side is still a bit too hot. And if you want to be picky, you cut her pinky off.

The photo was taken on my studio. The background was added at post. I wasn't looking for a real "photomontage" instead of it my goal was to create an artistic and strong image.

I like it, But I cannot help but wonder what it would look like if you flipped the background first and then put the model on the left

Over all I think the shot is ok...as others have said, good pose, good color, etc. The thing that's drawing my attention is I think the lighting is a bit too harsh...it looks like you blew the highlights on the models face. I don't mind the over-all contrast of the shot, but those highlights seem pretty bad.

Just my $.02,
Jim
