| the lighting has potential if you posed her in another way, but as is, this is very unflattering. The folds under the arms, the position of the breasts (sort of lop-sided) doesn't work. There's nothing wrong with the model, just poor positioning. Do you have any other samples from this same shoot? |

| I don't want to discourage you, but frankly I don't find any aesthetics in this shot. I think you need to work on the pose and keep the lighting soft. |

| You are on the right track. However, like pointed out by gaurawa and goldberry, the execution needs a little tweaking. The harsh creases can be avoided by having her extend arms back and then consider some fill lighting to reduce the stark shadows as they tend to pronounce what need not be pronounced. It is just a matter of a few more takes to do the idea justice. Keep at it and you will find it. |

The lopsided look is due to a relatively close-in, wide angle approach. Another distortion nobody has mentioned is that the arm in the upper left appears to belong to a grossly obese woman... The harshness of the light, as mentioned, is unflattering. If you wanted "reality" here, though, you got it :-)

in this context i wanna express my amazement at discovering the option in the 'my preferences sector' to avoid receiving nude posts
i was pretty sure we were living in the 21th century ?! |

I played with this a little bit. Tried to use "perspective" to minimize the distortion, which forced the crop. Used healing brush to minimze harsh shadow lines and smooth out skin texture, used a filter called "misitfy" to soften it up a little. Photoshops own softness filters worked ok, too, this was a little more subtle.
Image removed at photographer's request.

re: nudity filters, the nice thign about the 21st century, as it were, is that we CAN make these choices. To each their own...

My first impression was that the gravity isn't right. Suspect it was rotated about 90 degrees clockwise. When I looked closer some of the other problems appeared as already described.
Lot of negative comments so I was about to skip leaving this comment. Didn't want to "pile on". Don't give up, keep going.

I have a preference for larger women and thus really like this image. It's honest and elegant.
What you have to consider is the intention of this image, is it a celebration of the raw subject or an attempt at pleasing the masses (I'm sure that there is a better way of describing this comparison). Should the image be sexually attractive to the norms of society?
I think the image has a lot of potential, I feel that lighting is a little too harsh and could be better directed
Hope this helps :)
