I like the compositon, but the shadow on her foot is a little distracting. Also I would have liked to have seen more worry on her face.

Model's posture somehow accentuates the angles in the landscape. I like this!

Very nice idea, but I think that she gets lost on the magnitude of the scene around her. You lighting is terrific and focus is super-crisp, but I'd like to see a little more of her in the frame. I really like the concept of the beautiful, well-dressed lady up in the rugged mountains. Very nice.

Man, I could have sworn I saw a picture with this girl in a canyon somewhere recently... I think she was standing at the entrance to a canyon or something. I honestly preferred the other one. This one is a bit too close and makes her look awkward.

As to her pose, I think it might have looked more natural if she had her back to the 'hard place' and her hands pushing on the rock, but that would have required her to get a little more in the space, probably at the cost of your light... Indeed the picture itself suffers from a bit of of the very cliche in the title.

Nice skirt.

Shot works well. I think some fill flash would have given it a little more pop for ya though
