She's Crafty (slighty NSFW)

Alright, I apologize if I'm posting this at the wrong forum. This shot originated in my studio however the background is digital. It's starting to feel less and less like "photography" but I still like it. I'd love to get some feed back on this. I apologize for the watermark in advance.

reminds me of katie perry

You're apologizing for that watermark? Have you seen the brightly colored murals people place over subjects eyes?

Anyway, good job on the BG. I like the photo overall.

Any reason in particular for placing the main to the right? Her head is casting quite a shadow on her raised arm. Consider placing the main square-ish to the shoulders and a fill/reflector behind her for some interesting lighting in this pose.

Having spent some time earlier this evening looking at some 2940s pinups, I really appreciate what you have created here. Very nicely done and thank you so much for sharing.

Honestly Mike, I originally had the main light to the left. It didn't leave much shadow, therefore, I felt like I was losing a lot of depth. I usually don't watermark that heavily, but I promised her that I would before posting to a public forum. Thanks all the same.

Thanks, Duane. I appreciate it. I've looked through quite a bit of pinups myself. Just trying to develop a style. I'm inspired a lot by Gil Elvgren.

nice concept! like it

Very nice - lovely model too.

Lighting looks great. Any way of getting the shadow down a little in PP?

I love it! I think you did very well with this!

this is nice.
