This is an interesting shot. At first glance it doesn't greatly appeal to me. When I look at it a bit longer though I notice the curve of her pose on the left of the image and the expression on her face. The lighting is a little harsh down her right side. It is good how it highlights the curves though. I'm wondering if this could have been enhanced by using a dark backdrop and some sort of diffusion for the light. The image has a subtle beauty about it which is the most difficult aspect to capture or produce.

I don't really care for the background. It looks like it was shot in a corner, and the line was photoshoped out.

Returning for comments.
A very nice study with tender lighting and nice background. The model's expression has the innocense that is not always present in these types of shots. Bumping to 7

The idea here is good and the model beautiful and courageous. The photo however lacks either the correct pose or lighting or both (I̢۪m not sure) to capture the full beauty of the contrast between scar and our concept of beauty. Still, I rated it a 6.

idea is good, but somehow the overall picture doesn't appeal. why do i see the text on may be the backof the paper all over your background .. just not that clean ..need better lighting and cleaner shot.
