126a Frame and text B by markobrutus, on Flickr
Sorry about the large image here. I didn't know how to make it smaller.
Let me know what you think! :)
Don't be soft on me, I can take it I promise!

What is the intended purpose of the picture? ie: Why did you take the picture, and what will it be used for?

She is a soon to be model and she wanted to update her portfolio to send out to modeling companies. She said she wanted one that was like this so she asked me to take the photo. I don't really know why she wanted this one in particular but all I know is she thinks it will help her.

Overall, I like the picture, but it could use some fill on the left. Her leg especially fades too much into the background.

For a model, it's a good idea to be able to see her face for an expression of some kind.

The picture looks really nice, but geez, what's up with that watermark? I guess you took the picture for free to help her and want something from it, maybe future business (I don't know), but that watermark steals much more attention from me than what the picture does.

Since it's a photo for a model's portfolio I must say: From this photo I would NEVER give here a modelling job because I can't see her face. I don't want to be too harsh, but this makes me think of an ugly girl with a great body taking pictures for FaceBook.

The shadows on her stomach makes her look two-three months pregnant, and the pose gives her enormous birth giving hips which in the modelling business isn't the #1 thing they look for. (Before anyone says something; I'm NOT calling her fat, she's everything but fat).

I think for this picture a fill flash would have been so much better, to get rid of some of those harsh shadows on her.

The border is for me a bit too much as well.

The pose, the lighting, and the fact that I can't see her face would pretty much kill this shot for using it for her portfolio. the pose and shadows aren't flattering for her at all. This is not one I could see a model using for an agency.
