Hi Doc, welcome to the critique zone!

Overall, I find this a very pleasing image. Clearly you know the rules of composition and when they can usefully be broken, ad I disagree with the 'missing foot' comment - this photo is all about shock effect to me, bright, bold and fractionally unconventional.

Technically: There really isn't anything to say - Focus and DOF are both spot on, as is the lighting (although you point out that this was professionally arranged).

Artistically: You have managed to arrange about every key focal point to be on a 'thirds' intersection, which I find very visually pleasing. The strong colours are a choice and I think that they work well here, contrasting with the skin and striped top. Yes, you have chopped off a foot, but as I said, that's not a problem for me.

In summary, I don't think that there is anything in this photo that I would change if I were lucky enough to have been in the position to take it, so congratulations on a really nice job!

Originally posted by tanguera: What a fun image! Great wardrobe, and the flock wall is a wonderful detail. Oddly, I'm ok with the upper body crop, but somehow the missing foot is disturbing. And surely, with so much attention to detail, you could have found a more interesting footrest? Nice, vibrant colors, but not a fan of the desat. I honestly don't think this image needed it.

Actually there was no desat. The model's skin (whether through makeup or natural) was white as were her leggings. But I truly appreciate your thoughtful comment.
