Hello everyone, this is the first time posting for critique. Bring it on. The lighing in this shot is a home made KinoFlo style square. I first saw this lighting when I attended one of Rolando's workshops last year.

The lighting came out very nicely. I think the beads in the lower foreground are distracting. I like the placement of the garment on the breast as it adds some mystery to the photo. I don't care for the folds in the background that seem to run into the head and body. There is a good tonal quality to the photo. I think it succeeds overall.
Cheers,

I find the beads in the foreground and her curled fingers on her shoulder are a minor distraction but her left cheek has some finger tips growing out of it.

Here is an update. Thanks for your input. I'm pushing myself to try and get it right when I'm actually in front of the model. Let me know what you think



Thx

This is pretty good, but I would suggest shallower depth of field and perhaps a bit of narow high contrast light across the background to give it some zing.
