Hi Kevin,

You twins thread was really very good and I found not
much negative to note about it but this one has quite a
few issues that are of directorial nature, if I may.

• a stretched arm is not elegant when seen from the el-
bow side

• the hand in the back pocket makes the arm look a tad
morbid, maybe she could have placed it opened on the
pocket… or something.

• though she seems to have a good complexion, the skin
and bones of her back show rather unflattering shadows

• I understand that for some reasons her breast may not
bee seen but this is not the best way to do it. Maybe using
her hair?

• I see enough details in the jacket but too little in her jean

On the good side, her face is so very pretty, and her skin is
great.

The points I note and identify as of directorial nature are
things you can resolve as you can see them and not your
model. The way an actor or model looks depends always
on the director's input in any production… here, it was you.

I know some will say that the head was cropped but that's
a non-issue for me.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

This is spot-on.

The subject looks a little awkward, except if this is what you really wish to achieve.

I am not bothered at all. I like the tonal range.
