beautiful work and beautiful models! I agree with Ken about the straps (Id remove them). I also would lighten up a little the shadow on her face. Beautiful portrait.
hey, thanks for the thanks! lol, and i see what your saying, your probably seeing the right thing, this laptop is from 1998, and the screen is totally blown. So now that we have that resolved, great work! lol
I think the lighting is great! Took me a few minutes to start liking the pose - my first impression made me feel like I was a cop and she is a perp. That's just my twisted mind though. :) I think I would remove the straps. Not that I want to see her naked. er, well, not that I don't either - I just mean the straps detract a little.
Major improvements as you progress though, Steve! I'm interested to see how you will be able to keep the beautiful models coming. ...no really, I wanna know your secret! :P
maybe a darker background would have added more emphasis on Naomi, and the light is a little flat, but other then that its a great model and shot, I might have to try this pose tomorrow for my self portrait! nice work!
Great contrast between the model and the background. Great profile of the face, nice strong lines. Would like to see more depth in the skin tones, the colors seem to be a tad flat across the left arm. Having a little more depth with the model's lighting will help it pop a little more. Great work!
cheers,

they look so comfortable in front of your camera and you're taking the best photographs of them .. love the red and black and the lines and shapes created by her arms and head .. BEAUTIFUL .. :)
