 couldn't think of a good title, so instead of naming it untitled, I thought i would name it 'my wife' (my other idea for a title) in norwegian which most people wouldn't understand, making it somewhat untitled.

the background was a large black piece of paper in a studio

Love it how it completely stands out from the background. you could say there is no background, just emptyness, the sofa floats in emptyness. Dreams are like that, very focussed, when you become to aware of the surroundings you awake.
The sofa and the light on the girl is perfect.

I enjoy how sharp it is, and the soft lighting and highlighs. Nice contrast with background.

I really like this picture. I'm not sure if it's the negative space that gives it a "this could be anywhere" shot that spurs the imagination or the beautiful lighting on this cool couch and the model's pose and expression. Either way, sure is a nice piece of work. Good luck!

Second pass, bumping up. Liike the isolation of this and lighting.

Nice work "losing" the background - the sofa-floating-in-space effect works well for this theme. Overall a technically good shot which doesn't particularly grab me though.

I think the lighing is great. It really looks as though the sofa is floating.

The sofa looks suspended in mid-air, like the overall setup, wish the kona would have looked away from the camera, maybe closed her eyes..don't know..

superb....i'd say more but i am at a loss for anything to add....okay, beiing super nit-picky, the top right corner of the cushion is at a loss of contrast and too black
