Deep Purple

Is "Deep Purple" the subject matter we should be interested in here? Your model is very attractive and doesn't need the "sex sells" approach IMO. You've done a very nice job with lighting and all technical aspects of this challenge entry. Good luck.

Wow! That's some hair. :-) The bg is very busy, too busy IMO. Feels like something in the processing stage toned down details of her skin and hair.

Hmmm. Not sure where to categorize this. Doesn't speak "glamour" to me personally. From a technical standpoint the image is well composed and the lighting is somewhat harsh. Try and diffuse the light a little if you can (bounce, or use mesh/light cloth, etc...). Good luck in the challenge.

Maybe if this was more intimate I'd buy it for "glamour". As it is, I feel too far removed from the subject. This is tricky because the flower has so much depth to it it makes it difficult to get the whole thing in focus, so what do you do? Eliminate more of the OOF areas or go in close with a shallow DOF? Hmmm... Seems like you kind of went down the middle road by giving us part of the flower, some in focus, some not.

Attractive, well done. Good use of studio setting to get the right light and crisp details.

Isn't she pretty?

This might have worked with a little more attention to detail. Hard to use toys/dolls/props if the technicals aren't there to sell it. This needs some contrast and better focus to start with. Great "pose" BTW! :-)

Ok. Now THIS pose works ten times better than the other. Much more connection with the viewer. Hot, sexy pose without getting risque. Very well done. I hope this makes the front page for you. 10 from me!

Fun idea. I think the lighting could use some attention. Not getting the "pop" that you should from those fantastic eyes.

A nice shot overall. Attractive model, fun pose, good lighting... Not sure why, but it seems like her eyes are getting lost a little. Could be the lipstick color, combined with her brilliant teeth, are stealing the show somewhat. I hope that makes sense... Anyway, good luck in the challenge.
