It is a bit soft , but I love it. The softness seems to work well with the lighting and composition. well done .

I like the way your logo blends into the carpet. Good shot!

Very well done. Like the lighting, like the pose.

I am not sure I like the keystoneing. If it were mine, I might think of fixing that. But don't overdo it.

Also, the reflections on the forehead and knees seem a little bright.

Minor nits though for an otherwise excellent shot.

mmm... perfect.
everything in this shot works for me, the composition, pose and lighting.
the only thing I would have taken out will be the brown closet that is half cut out but really, i like it a lot.

First of all, you have nice shadows giving terrific three dimensionality to her. It needed more light control though. Her legs are too bright. Her left arm is posed very awkwardly and appears distorted coming towards the camera like that. I would have liked to see her other arm instead of it being severely pulled back like that. And the image needs to be straightened.

I like the image but could have loved it if lit with more control (i.e. feathering the key light and using gobos) as well as better posing.

Thank you all for your CC.

kckon, I used one light with a small soft box. I angled it as far down as it would go then raised it on the stand to give me that overhead look and still put some light on the wall.

Radtech1, Yeah I thought the knees looked a little too hot and now that you point it out the forehead looks a little hot too.

Thanks again all, I really appreciate you all taking the time to cc.

Love the light... head and shoulders
Hate the crossed legs... the hand.... and distorted arm out of square background.
Highlights a bit too strong.
