 This was a shoot I did for a Maxim entry and the model, Melissa could not have done a better job. I have ton of more racy pics and body shots - but overall, this one came out the best in my opinion. For shooting girls on bikes, it was my first time NOT being the model..... It is a big accomplishment for me. :)

Good idea and pretty model.

I think (for me) it could be improved by having her on a bike more fitting to the outfit, so maybe a Harley or something a little more 'grungy' to go with the skull and cross bones top (rather than a silver sports bike), and the bars/safety rail just above her chest is visually very distracting.

Have her in the same pose on a different bike outside a nightclub or a graffiti strewn wall and this would look quite different.

Window as background is poor composition.

Nice idea, but I think the focus should be on her pretty eyes.

there are too many distractions in the background (bottle, bar, red thing, paper on ground etc)

Good model, distracting location and terrible lighting.

If you wanted her left breast to be the focus then you've succeeded. Personally I think her face should have been more in focus and lit much better. Her skin tone is very orangey and whatever is resting on the ledge behind her right cheek now appears to be growing out of it.

If you get an opportunity with a model like this, take some time to think about all the details we'll be viewing.

Most importantly her eye's should have been clear and unshadowed.

Check out the tutorial by idnic called Pimp those Eyes.

Not a Ducati ... too bad. Otherwise a fine photo. Bright band at the top detracts. In general, watch your background.
