The Good:
Face: Her face is very beautiful especially her eyes and really makes this image special.
Proportion: She is very proportional to the two rocks on either side of her which really fits her into the scene. A model should always exist in a scene and not overwhelm it.
Lighting: You picked the perfect time of day for this shot because of her pale complexion a shot in more direct light would have turned out very bad.
Location: The surrounding are breath-taking and so full of detail, everywhere i look i see small details that are not existent on other places of the photo.
The Bad:
Contrast: The contrast between her complexion and the darker colors of her surroundings makes her shape seem "cookie cutter" and in some spots actually makes her look "photoshoped" into the image.
Blur: the background blur is too sharp.
Thought: I say this alot and i do mean ALOT. Hand, hands, hands. The hand covering the rock is posed in such a way as to make the fingers seem longer then normal. The way she leans on her elbow; when i see that section of the shot i get an image of a sailor leaning on a bar-top. Oddly, a friend of mine had the same impression.
The Ugly:
The spots on her arm, the deviation on her nose and the positioning of her hair really should have been addressed here before the shot.


Please, please don't get discouraged. In general i love this shot and am looking forward to more with this model.
