I like the framing and composition of this shot but it is out of focus and there is motion blur arround the chicks head, a faster shutter speed woulld reduce motion blur and a higher appiture setting would give greater depht of focus

I did something like this once with my son...made him pasty looking , and then he closed his eyes and looked dead...my wife wouldn't let me post it...and really I get that, so your husband dislike makes sense...
poor kid! I like the angle you used on this one..makes the whole shot a little edgier...

I look at this, and wonder where your mind is waundering off to... all that foreground (looks like sand on a beach) has to be good for daydreaming...I hope you revisit this shot someday on a beach...draw in the sand, really take your time to figure out what you are saying with the shot...this one is so close to being really something...

Comment by jenesis:
I really, really like this. It's simple and understated with it's lack of color except for the splash of green. I like the expanse of concrete which would normally give off a cold feeling but in contrast here, the photo is quite warm and inviting. This is even with your closed off positioning far in the back with eyes covered. My only nitpick is the bit of elbow cropped out, not sure if I like that or not. But regardless, I like this. :-)

Yes, perhaps just a tad too far to offer just a little more visual intimacy. I like the body position. Bump.

I think a square crop would've worked better here, the floor is a bit useless. too bad of your arm, I think it wou;d've been better with the whole arm on it, because the pose looks nice.

Great pose. Great lighting. Maybe a bit too much dead space on the bottom? Lovely model.

I really like the composition. By the way, I have a similar tatoo. LOL!
