    Nice bike ! Boy, talk about going 'commando'.

    Just kidding. Well done photo that harkens back to the days when Norton ran ads just like this.

    I'm thinking... why there is white space above her head and yet no space for her shoes at the bottom to fit in the frame. I'm also thinking the colours look odd and for some some reason my mind fliks between vroom vroom, and some wow noises.thumb.gif

    Everything works but the lighting. :D

    Seriously, the model works, the bike, the idea.

    But the lighting's flat. No mystery, no shadows, no backlight for relief.

    Yeah so the lighting is not techically perfect, with a shot like this who cares.
    This is great to look at it.
    I want a job taking pics like this one.

    the background is too blah for me, but honeslty, I hardly noticed.

    I agree
    I agree - face skin tone and arm skin tones don't match - lighting issue
    A small nitpick is that her stockings are wrinkled - fishnets need to be skin tight and it draws my eyes away from her face.

    My first studio shoot was with some models and I cut all the feet off - it's a big thing. Always cut off at a bend but not the ankle or wrist and show the full foot.

    Great look and composition.

    New Pic to the one who wanted more.
    And to everyone else thanks for your input . I am new and now trying to get my lighting down. I can see now where i need more shadow and highlights.... now that you mention it , it dose look a little bland. I'll try more highlights and shadows next time. But for now here is another bad pic. from the same photo shoot. K. And I cut her boot off. My studio is small so I could hardly get the whole bike in the photo.

    Picture the same shot against a RED background. Better yet, a red spot in the center fading to black in on the edges. thumb.gif

    As for subject light, my taste for shots like this runs toward a bit more contrast and a rim light for separation.

    Since I did cut off her boot... where would you have cropped the photo?

    Ok, soooo can you edit the photo for me and show me what it would look like if you had taken the shot.

    Took the words right out of my mouth!

    I would have used a back fill light to separate her head from the backdrop and maybe a fill light a little lower to the elft to make her face glow a bit
