This photo captures one of the most basic acts of play. The child's action not only represents playing in the autumn leaves, but is analogous with children playing in other substances such as snow, ball pens at MacDonald's or anything else they typically submerse themselves in and grab/throw up in the air using their hands. If I could picture any person having a great time playing (whatever that might be for them), they would have this child's facial expression. Great job.

Very sexy model. Unfortunately the side lighting is not very flattering to your subject. It would help to have a background light or a hair light separate her dark hair from the dark backdrop. the low perspective is not flattering either, as it represents a position of power for your model, where a sexy lady is usually most effectively photographed from a higher vantage looking downwards to show a more sensuous look. Finally her one eye does not have a catchlight so it seems a tad dark.

Please do not take this as being totally discouraging to you, I think the warm tones are nice, the model is beatiful and there is a lot of potential here, it is just not quite there yet. :) 5

The warm lighting looks beautiful on her, I love that the nudity is implied and manages to be elegant, that's not something everyone can achieve. Well done.
