    Txs Foques, and what do you really, really dislike on the model rolleyes1.gif

    Is it the expression ?, the cigaret? I seem to remember that at some time, somebody really really hated smoking people in one of my pictures…. :ivar
    At the end it is all show….

    Ha!
    I think it is her makeup that does it for me. maybe lips look odd.. hard to put a finger on it just something seems off to me.

    TXS Foques, I can understand that… it 's all a matter of taste. And lucky we all have one that is not the same. Otherwise we would need to chase the same wifeswings.gif

    I know that the make-up is rather hard and expressive, the girl has a pale skin and dark hair…..The intend was to make this shot as it was one from the past (style) . A gogo / show girl hence the sigaret and the boa and corset.

    I absolutely agree.

    I wonder, how this image would look with a tighter crop. Tighter to a point that the legs would not be showing at all and a part of the table on the left was gone.
    regardless, despite your pale skin concern she is lit perfectly. that is something I need to master.

    I like the model, lighting, and overall look. I do agree a tighter crop without the legs may be more interesting, but great photo anyways.

    Txs Foquet and Jon. I have been thinking as well on a crop, and even did it. And then again , I did not keep it because of the loss of the legs. Now you might wonder why I wanted the legs. Well during the shoot I explicitly asked the model to put the knee's together and spreading the lower legs, as it presents a symbolic protection. It seems that it didn't work… Thanks….That is why it is good to have these conversation…
