I find the flower a non-essential to the feel of the shot. It's almost a distraction as it's more in focus than part of the woman's body. The lighting is a tad too harsh for my taste. I hope you find this helpful.

Title doesn't seem to fit and the crop is very tight. Otherwise good lighting and tones.

Hi-I think the lighting is as close to perfect as one can get (IMO). The pose is very flattering and I like the B&W. But I do have to agree with the wrinkles in the background and under the arm do catch my attention while viewing the photograph. Slightly distracting but not enough to effect the photograph to a degree that is has to be fixed.

With the above said I would have to say you done a great job. The model should be happy.

I really like this one. I like the lighting and the pose but I'm not to crazy about the background. The waves in the material kinda steal attention a bit and I think it might look better pitch black, not 100% sure but I'd at least try it if I were you :) (blackening the background that is!)

Other wise, nice picture and lovely model!

Nice shot. I really like the lighting. Not much I would change, except the lettering. It sort of draws my eyes away from her.
