Much better than previous one as SaraR says, I still have a problem with regards cropping / framing, for me a golden rule is never crop out at joints, fingers, feet (so ankles would be bad as far as I'm concerned), her right arm does look a bit in limbo so that could be something to look at also again a little tight at the top. I am not bothered by people cropping into heads unlike some, but it needs to be done properly, either crop in tight or leave room above (in most cases).

As always a little positive vibe :) Love the setting, awesome DOF and quite nicely lit.

As per your post a little C/C:

I think the cropping is the main problem with this shot, both hands really need to be completely in the shot and you could crop tighter to the left, if I'm completely honest I feel it's a bit tight at the top too as it's a portrait rather than a glamour / headshot style shot.

I like the bokeh in the background but when I shoot portraits I try and avoid dissecting the head with hard lines such as the chair back (although it's not a killer issue in this shot I do still think it detracts a bit).

On a positive side the model seems very relaxed and the black and red work well together in her outfit / accessories.

This is a seriously good image that I feel should have scored so much better :(

Oh and I see tons of concrete which is very nicely and dramatically lit ;)

Aw :( Not sure why this one scored so low and I really cannot understand all those 1s and 2s - Ah well on to the next one...

Sarah I really like the kind of desat / low contrast feel you have done on this shot, has almost a painterly feel to it, very nicely done!
