Hello Friends
I was wondering by including the trees on the right did I make a mistake? I included it to show that she was looking at some thing and not just posing. The pic has not been scaned properly so looks little grainy. I took it in golden light.
shutter speed: 1/15, Aperture: 5.6, ISO 100, zoomed at 200mm (With out a tripod)

Very nice! Beautiful model. Not sure if the trees hurt it or not, but I love the pose.

I like the crop, so dont mind the trees. You might want to play around with cloning them out and see if it makes a difference. Great shot and very sharp given the slow shutter speed and long focal length.

Lovely lady and a genuinely nice photograph. If you like it, it is good enough!

Although...I seem to find the bright white over her shoulder a bit distracting. A lovely photograph with nice, soft colors and the white just seemed a little harsh. But, that is just my opinion, which, in the end, is worth just what you paid for it .

sugarzebra this is not a croped image, This is how i took the pic, Even this pic too.

For the first shot the trees are a slight distraction but it's the white wall that really distracts from it.

It's a great pose and expression and to help alleviate the distraction of the trees/wall try a slight vignette on the image to draw the eyes to the face rather than the other objects. Also try some selective sharpening on the hair/facial outlines to make her stand out more.

The second image is a lot stronger and is more fashion orientated. The background works with the model to give her seperation. The only nitpick I have is try and clone out the shadow behind her and apply a slight blur to it, maybe it will work or not but it's worth trying out in PP work.
