Nice shot! The soft shadows really make her look that much more appealing.

Clean, open shot! Great lighting and balance. The shadows are perfect...not too soft, yet not too strong! I love it!

DrJ, i owe you, and your model!, an apology.

This submission is one of the best, if not the best, submission here. It has real professionalism; i suspect you are a pro and also have the studio and the appropriate gear. The biggest difference between this and your magazine cover is that this picture, my taste mind you, is much more appealing and far less lewd (for lack of a better word). This is probably because there are no skimpy clothes. The message of the image is a great deal softer as well. Not so much in-your-face but i think all the guys' reaction is still the same ;)
The lighting here is perfection. The pose is lovely and so is the hat. For some reason, what i like most is that hand reaching towards the hat. It's a bummer that you can upload 150 kb max because i would have liked to see this image without the compression blockiness. 8
Hope my apology will be accepted. Salut

the flare from the background is in gradient rather than a smooth fade... very distracting from the subject... i have to wonder if this is due to post-processing (resizing, etc) ? was the original this way?

very sloppy!!! Looks like it took you 10 minutes to take. the model looks drunk and puffy. The shadows and contrast is poor...to soft. The focus is on her breasts and she has a much nicer body than this picture portrays. The Grey boarder style is a poor choice...black or white would have been a better choice.

Snif snif.... is that the smell of victory???? :o) Another great DrJOnes shot! You stayed simple, safe and classic so the DPCers will love it! If you don't win I'll be very surprised. Your model is even getting famous on DPC!!! ;o)

IMHO the only 2 minor things I find distracting is the hand by the hat. It seems in movement and distracts from the "static" feeling of the shot. And I would've cropped a little closer to the foot to be symetrical with the hand... I don't see the purpose of that negative space. But then again... VERY MINOR things my dear friend. :o) I would encourage you to do a whole high key theme.!! :o)

A little too bright, I need more contrast. Great otherwise. 8
