Comment by GeckoZ:
Nicely framed. The models had great expressions as well! The dim in the light created some mood. Noice could do some enhancement in this picture.

She's a wondeful model. Her face has a lot of character, and yet it is "model beautiful".

I like this image very much. I like the repeating lines: her silhouette repeated in the line of the hair over the eye; the back of the head repeated in the shoulders and hinted at with the top of her hips. I also very much like the brown/black colour combination, the colours suit this girl beautifully. I like the centred subject placement in this case - it works. I like it that the model is not neatimaged to death, if there's any noise reduction, it's very subtle; I find the slight mottling in the skin of the arm very "human", goes well with the "without" title.

One thing I wonder about is the silver insteps of the shoes - they don't quite go along with the image, then again, if the insteps were black or white or gold maybe it would be too homogeneous.

As far as DPC and scores goes, I imagine the reason it didn't score higher is that the connection to footware is not "in your face".

Cheers!

Well, I've seen worse.. :)
This photo is a classic, I've seen similar photos in some magazines a while ago and I always loved them - yours is no exception.

I think going with a pair of shoes in a different color might've created a more dramatic effect though.

Keep up the good work and it's good to have you back in here.

I like this image. Well done.
One big drawback I see is that your camera sensor needs to be cleaned.
I see lots of sensor dust all over this image.
