hard to look at the face :)....shadowing a little hard to the left of her nose

Good use of fill in flash, almost looks like a studio shot

No vote, just a comment. A stunning model and great funny title, however, the flash is a little too strong to be a 'fill-in' (i.e. pop a little light into the shadows and not create its own shadows). As a result it looks like she is standing in front of a wind machine and a backdrop. Also the horizon is not straight (but then how many people will be looking at that?)

UH what was the challenge again? You've got a winning combination here. A little fill flash and whole lot of "arch your back baby!" good luck.

the fill flash and the contrast .. with the background makes this picture strike out ..

You've seamlessly balanced ambient light with flash. Good work. 8

The flash here has caused the model to stand out of the image almost like she is standing in front of a poster. A little less fill flash and a little longer exposure would have helped here.

Also, the background is slightly out of focus. I think in a shot like this it either has to be properly out of focus or in focus. The way it is it just detracts from the shot overall.

a little too hash lighting ratio / highlights imo

That nose shadow is distracting when all of the rest is so well lit.

very pretty girl .. ... you've done a pretty good job with the fill flash, but I think that this may have been even stronger if you'd had her tilt her head towards the flash, just slightly, to eliminate the harsh shadow on the side of her nose ...
