This is my good friend Kyla. Her boyfriend is a mechanic, they had a shop, I used my 580EX w/ shoot through umbrella along w/ my new cybersyncs, and here we are :)
I hope this is a 6+ image :)

cloning here and there (cleaned off a little of the lettering on the front license plate that was distracting and had no reason to be there.)

I like the idea that you were after. I think you could have pushed this further, I agree with the comments below that she looks too clean for an "oil" challenge. A bit of grease on her face would definitely improve the image. The oil smeared on the stomach looks too staged -- whoever applied it tried to carefully avoid her belly button.
The light on her face is a little harsh for me, as it makes her face too bright as compared to the rest of the photo. There are a few elements in this photo that I find a little distracting -- the harsh shadows on the ground, the silver foil on the model's stomach, her jewelry which seems to contrast with the dirty surroundings.
I really like the angle that you shot from, model's pose and how comfortable she looks in the shot.
I hope this is helpful. Feel from to PM me if you have any questions.
Well I like the idea but you are not selling me the concept, she is WAY too clean in the face, you really had needed to get this girl dirtier, in a greasy kind of way.
good picture, good concept. For some reason it bothers me that her face is so clean though. I imagine it would've been a lot to ask of her to smear motor oil on her face though! Not voting yet.
