I'll disagree with the "too busy" but then you know me - I like stuff with depth and stuff to explore. Lovely model (though I'll echo that the lighting does tend to highlight her nose ring, which is OK if she's good with that) and I really do like the lighting on her shoulder, her hair. An interesting pose, too - nice use of curves, both hers and the props. My only nit/suggestion would be that I can just see stuff in the background, in the upper left - either it needs to be completely blacked out (and yeah, editing rules and such - this is for non-DPC use) or not SO blacked out as to still be there enough to be a background. Looks like you and Leo have a great time with these outings!

Her look seems to be of pain and uncomfort, and the back ground needs to be darkened out because the shapes are quite distracting. The contrast of the models skin and the couch with the background is also a little too strong. A little softening and darkening would do this photo well. The models eye contact and hair/make up job is very strong. This photo has a lot of potential, it just needs a little more editing to make it complete.

The model should have tilted her head up alittle and this would be better but it is a fun shot.

Yes she is and I keep getting closer to my monitor because I want to see her better!

I love the lighting, pose, and composition. My only complaint would be that your models facial expression looks as if she smelled something foul.

could have been a really cool shot with plainer fabrics, it is just a little too busy

nice rim lighting, but I think that at a glance the nose ring makes her nose look to prominant.
